Zakat, sadaqah and sadaqah jariyah

Zakat is the obligatory annual charity for Muslims whose wealth is above the nisab, usually 2.5% of savings held for a lunar year. Asraa keeps zakat in a separate fund and gives it only to people eligible to receive it. Work out your zakat.

Sadaqah is voluntary charity given at any time and in any amount. We use it wherever the need is greatest.

Sadaqah jariyah is ongoing charity whose benefit continues, such as a water well, a school place or a masjid. Choose the clean water or education programme to give sadaqah jariyah.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

  • Pakistan. Donors in Pakistan can claim a tax credit only for gifts to organisations approved under section 2(36) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Our current tax status is shown on the About page.
  • United Kingdom. Our UK charity registration is in progress. Until it is complete, gifts are not eligible for Gift Aid.
  • United States. Our US nonprofit registration is in progress. Until 501(c)(3) status is granted, gifts are not tax-deductible in the US.

Receipts

Every donor receives a receipt by email. If you need a receipt for a bank transfer or a replacement for a lost receipt, write to us with the date and amount of your gift.

Questions about giving

Can I choose which programme my donation supports?

Yes. Choose a programme in the donation form. If you do not choose one, your gift goes to our general fund and is used wherever the need is greatest.

Can I donate on behalf of someone else, or in memory of someone?

Yes. Add their name in the note field of the donation form, or email us after giving, and we will record the gift in their name.

Is it safe to donate online?

Yes. Payments are handled by established payment providers over an encrypted connection. Asraa never sees or stores your full card number.
