✓ Ulema Approved Zakat Policy

Transform Lives Through Your Zakat

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a sacred obligation that purifies our wealth and supports those in need. At Aghosh UK - Alkhidmat Foundation, we treat your Zakat as a sacred trust (Amanah) and ensure it reaches the most vulnerable members of our Ummah across the globe.

With our Ulema-approved Zakat policy, you can have complete confidence that your donation is distributed according to Islamic principles, reaching Gaza orphans, Pakistani orphans, martyrs' families, and those suffering from poverty and hunger.

Our Zakat-Eligible Projects

Every project has been carefully designed to meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable while adhering strictly to Shariah guidelines for Zakat distribution.

Gaza Orphans Support Programme
Over 1,000 orphans currently supported

Since October 2023, more than 40,000+ children in Gaza have lost one or both parents, leaving them traumatised and vulnerable. These innocent children face an uncertain future, struggling with grief, displacement, and poverty.

We currently have registered data of 5,000 Gaza orphans on our portal. Your Zakat provides direct financial support to an orphan's widowed mother or guardian, helping them meet the child's essential needs including food, shelter, education, and healthcare.

How Your Zakat Helps:

  • Provides monthly financial assistance to orphan families
  • Ensures children receive proper nutrition and healthcare
  • Supports education and psychological support services
  • Helps families maintain dignity during crisis
£42 Monthly £500 Yearly
Pakistan Orphan Sponsorship
34,000+ orphans currently supported

There are 4.2 million orphans across Pakistan who have lost their primary breadwinner and are growing up in poverty and uncertainty. Without support, these children face a bleak future with limited access to education, healthcare, and basic necessities.

Aghosh UK - Alkhidmat Foundation currently supports over 34,000 orphans in Pakistan. Through our Zakat-eligible sponsorship programme, we provide monthly financial support directly to families at home, covering an orphan's food, education, healthcare, and basic living needs.

Why Home-Based Support?

We believe orphaned children should grow up with dignity rather than dependency. By supporting them in their family environment, we preserve their emotional wellbeing, family bonds, and sense of belonging while ensuring they receive the resources they need to thrive.

£30 Monthly £360 Yearly
Families of Martyred Healthcare Workers – Gaza
1,580 registered families in need of support

Healthcare workers – doctors, nurses, and paramedics – in Gaza gave their lives to save the lives of others. They stood at the frontlines of humanity, treating the wounded and sick even as danger surrounded them.

Now their bereaved families face an uncertain future without their breadwinners. Honour their service and sacrifice by giving stability and dignity to those they left behind. Standing with them is a collective obligation of the Ummah.

Your Support Provides:

  • Monthly financial assistance for essential living costs
  • Educational support for martyrs' children
  • Healthcare and medical expenses
  • Long-term stability for grieving families
£100 Monthly £1,200 Yearly
Clean Water Solutions in Pakistan

Every year, 53,000 Pakistani children under the age of five die from diarrhoea caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. Access to clean, safe water is not just a convenience – it's a matter of life and death.

Aghosh UK delivers a variety of Zakat-eligible, innovative and environmentally-responsible clean water solutions including community hand pumps, submersible pumps, water wells, filtration plants, and gravity flow schemes. These sustainable solutions ensure vulnerable communities have safe access to water for drinking, cooking, and sanitation.

Zakat-Eligible Water Projects:

£400 Community Handpump £720 Build Water Well £1,800 Gravity Flow Water Scheme £2,580 Solar Submersible Water Pump

Installing a water source in a community becomes Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), providing continuous rewards as families benefit for years to come.

Educate a Talented Medical Student of Gaza

Many talented students from Zakat-eligible families in Gaza continue to pursue their dream of becoming doctors despite extreme financial hardship and incredible challenges. These resilient young people represent the future of Gaza's healthcare system, on which countless lives will depend.

Your Zakat helps cover their training and essential educational costs, enabling them to become qualified medical professionals who will serve their community for decades to come.

Why This Matters:

  • Gaza's healthcare system needs qualified professionals
  • These students have proven talent but lack financial resources
  • One doctor can treat thousands of patients over their career
  • Your investment creates long-term community benefit
£500 Monthly £6,000 Yearly
Emergency Food Packs

Rising inflation, unemployment, and instability have pushed countless families into hunger in Gaza, Pakistan, and across the globe. Many families are surviving on just a single meal a day, struggling to feed their children and maintain basic nutrition.

Aghosh UK provides monthly food rations that supply essential staples to sustain an entire family for one month. These food packs include flour, rice, oil, lentils, sugar, and other nutritious items carefully selected to meet dietary needs.

£30 Food Pack (One Month Supply for a Family)

Other Important Islamic Obligations

Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr)

Fitrana or Zakat al-Fitr is a small but powerful charity which purifies our fasts and helps the needy. It is due from every Muslim before the Eid al-Fitr prayer, ensuring that even the poorest members of our community can celebrate Eid with dignity.

When to Pay: Before the Eid prayer on the day of Eid al-Fitr
Who Must Pay: Every Muslim who has food in excess of their needs on the day and night of Eid
£5 Per Person
Fidya

Fidya is paid by someone who is unable to fast due to long-term illness or a permanent difficulty. If you cannot make up missed fasts due to chronic illness, old age, or other permanent conditions, you should pay Fidya.

Fidya feeds 1 person per missed day of fasting in Ramadan. By paying Fidya, you fulfill your religious obligation while ensuring a needy person receives a nutritious meal.

£5 Per Fast
Kaffarah

Kaffarah becomes due when a person intentionally breaks or misses a fast in Ramadan without a valid excuse. This is a serious matter that requires expiation through feeding the poor.

A person must feed 60 poor people for each missed fast. Aghosh UK ensures your Kaffarah payment provides nutritious meals to those most in need.

Important: Kaffarah is different from Fidya. It applies only when a fast is broken intentionally without valid reason. If you're unsure about your situation, please consult a knowledgeable scholar.
£300 Per Fast

"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills."

— Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261

Who Must Pay Zakat?

Zakat is obligatory for Muslims who meet specific conditions:

  • A Muslim who has reached the age of puberty – Zakat becomes obligatory upon reaching maturity
  • A Muslim who has ownership of the Nisab (minimum amount of wealth) for one lunar year – You must possess wealth above the Nisab threshold for a complete Islamic year before paying Zakat on it
  • The Muslim paying Zakat must be of sound mind – Those who are not mentally capable are exempt
