Should Muslim Aid's Zakat Advice Be the Best? Why We Think So

For the 38th year, Muslim Aid will manage and distribute your Zakat. Zakat is a sacred duty and as Muslims, we discharge it to create a better world for you, them and us. So, when you carry out this duty, it’s your right to know that the agent – Muslim Aid -- is acting impeccably on your behalf.

Muslim Aid is one of the very few charities with an end-to-end Zakat guide. This means you will know exactly what we are doing with your obligation from the moment you make the donation to even after it has been distributed for the greater good.

Our Zakat policy is reviewed and ratified annually by the esteemed Muslim scholars of the Islamic Council of Europe (ICE). By doing this, we ensure that as donors, you have peace of mind that your Zakat payments are in safe hands and Shariah compliant. By doing this, we regularly hold ourselves to account in striving for ihsan – excellence – which is a core value of Muslim Ai

As a major pillar of our religion and your act of worship, policies regulating Zakat should be comprehensive, detailed and improved by Ulama. We’re proud that Muslim Aid’s Zakat guide is exactly this instead of an FAQ or a one-pager marketed as a guide.

As donors and agents of Zakat payments, we are in the same boat of having a duty to Allah, and respecting your payments, giving you complete transparency is one of the ways we do this. When we say an end-to-end Zakat guide, this is what we mean:

· An encompassing framework that is accepted by most Muslim scholars in the majority of scenarios and circumstances

· Explaining how we distribute our Zakat across the globe, backed up with scholarly rationale

· The mechanisms we use to monitor, report and audit Zakat collection and distribution

We believe every charity handling Zakat should have a guide as comprehensive as this, and as the second-oldest Muslim charity in the UK, we choose to lead by example. Your Zakat is safe with us, and you know exactly how. Download our end-to-end Zakat guide to learn more and donate your Zakat to Muslim Aid now.
