Zakat donations: understand the campaign before giving

Looking for somewhere to give Zakat? Start with the campaign's stated use of funds and eligibility basis. The listings below are marked as Zakat-eligible in the site's admin records; that label is not an independent religious ruling or a guarantee about a recipient.

Questions to ask before sending Zakat

  • Who receives the funds, and what need is the campaign addressing?
  • Who assessed Zakat eligibility, and what explanation or evidence supports it?
  • How will Zakat funds be handled and distinguished from other donations?
  • Do the receiving account and organizer details match the campaign?

Check your own circumstances and the proposed use with a qualified scholar when you need a ruling. For background, the National Zakat Foundation explains Zakat and qualifying wealth. It is an external resource and has not reviewed or endorsed these campaigns.

Questions before giving Zakat

What does a Zakat-eligible label mean on this site?

It means the campaign is marked as eligible in the site admin records. Ask for the eligibility basis and how funds will be used. The flag does not establish an independent scholarly assessment of every campaign or recipient.

Does the calculator determine whether Zakat is due?

No. It calculates 2.5% of the entered asset amounts. It does not assess all qualifying-wealth rules, thresholds, timing or liabilities, and it does not decide whether a campaign is an eligible recipient.

Does a masjid construction label also mean Zakat-eligible?

No. The project category and the Zakat flag are separate. Ask a qualified scholar about the proposed use and confirm the organizer's fund-handling arrangements before choosing how to give.
