Zakat (Maal)
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. This pillar requires Muslims to give a percentage of their qualifying surplus wealth each year to help Muslims who need it across a range of categories. Zakat is both a spiritual duty and a vital part of the Islamic social welfare system.
Zakat-ul-Fitr
Zakat ul Fitr is a duty that is paid during Ramadan until the morning of Eid ul Fitr. It is required from every Muslim and is usually paid by the head of the household for all the family members they are responsible for. The amount required per person varies based on the value of basic food commodities such as rice. This Ramadan (2021/1442 AH), Zakat-ul-Fitr will costs a minimum of £6 per person.
Fidyah/Kaffarah
Fidyah is a minor compensation, paid where a person is unable to fast and will not be able to make it up (e.g. owing to long-term illness). Kaffarah is a major compensation, it is paid when a person intentionally misses or breaks a fast, or an oath without reason; the Kaffarah acts as an expiation. This year, 2021, Fidyah/Kaffarah will cost a minimum of £3 per missed day.
Sadaqah
Sadaqah is a voluntary donation. By giving Sadaqah to The Suffa Educational Foundation you can help us reach more people, and also sustain and grow our essential community services.
