Zakat
- Can I pay my Zakat through Imdaad Foundation?
- Yes. Select Zakat as the purpose when you donate. We operate a 100% Zakat policy and distribute your Zakat only to the eight categories of eligible recipients, verified on the ground in Kashmir.
- How do I calculate my Zakat?
- Use our Zakat Calculator, which applies the current Nisab to your cash, gold, silver, savings, and business assets and calculates 2.5% on your net Zakatable wealth held for one lunar year.
- What is the difference between Zakat, Sadaqah, and Fitra?
- Zakat is an obligatory annual 2.5% charity on qualifying wealth. Sadaqah is voluntary charity with no minimum, given any time. Fitra (Sadaqah al-Fitr) is a small fixed charity paid per person before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer.
