Giving · One of the Five Pillars
Purifying wealth and supporting people with dignity.
Zakah is an obligatory form of giving for eligible Muslims. It is calculated carefully and distributed only for recognised purposes.
Zakah is not the same as every donation
General donations, Sadaqah and Zakah can have different intentions and permitted uses. Always make your intention clear and confirm that the recipient can accept and use Zakah appropriately.
- Check whether Zakah is due on your circumstances
- Calculate using reliable current guidance
- Confirm eligibility before sending a restricted donation
Giving through Darul Falah
The public donation page supports the centre’s general work. Before sending money specifically as Zakah, contact Darul Falah to confirm whether a current Zakah-eligible purpose and appropriate handling arrangement are available.
- Do not assume every appeal is Zakah-eligible
- Ask how restricted donations will be used
- Keep an appropriate payment record
