What is the difference between Sadaqah and Zakat?

Zakat is an obligatory annual charity of 2.5% on qualifying wealth, payable only to eight defined categories of recipients. Sadaqah is voluntary, has no minimum or fixed rate, can be given at any time, and may be used for a much wider range of good causes.

Can I give Sadaqah on behalf of someone who has passed away?

Yes. Giving Sadaqah on behalf of a deceased loved one is a widely encouraged act, and its reward is conveyed to them. Many donors give ongoing Sadaqah Jariyah in a relative's name.

Is my Sadaqah donation used only in Kashmir?

About this giving

What is Sadaqah?

Sadaqah is voluntary charity in Islam — unlike Zakat it has no minimum, no fixed rate, and no set time. It can be a rupee or a fortune, given quietly or openly, whenever a need arises. The Prophet ﷺ described even a smile as a form of Sadaqah.

Sadaqah also includes Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity that keeps giving after the initial gift, such as supporting a child's education or a family's livelihood. At Imdaad Foundation, your Sadaqah is directed to wherever the need is most urgent across Kashmir.

Who your gift helps

Sadaqah funds our most flexible relief — a medicine a family cannot afford, a child's school fee, food for a household that has run out, or emergency help when a crisis strikes without warning.
