Charities and Zakāh and Sadaqat–ul-Fitr

[Quran 7:156] My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give Zakah.
Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Charities and Zakāh and Sadaqat–ul-Fitr


A recent question was asked about giving Zakāh and Sadaqat-ul-Fitr to charities and what should people check for in a charity while giving their Sadaqat or Zakāh to them.


This is the answer given on the 1 Shawwāl 1440/5 June 2019 by Mufti Amjad Mohammed on this issue:


Each person is responsible for the dispensing of their Zakāh and Sadaqat-ul-Fitr themselves. However, due to our inability in some cases, charities were set up to assist in the collection and dispensing.


However as time has progressed the charities have grown to become an institution, and as a result, have salaried staff, CEOs etc. This has meant that the admin costs and management costs have significantly increased.


Due to unpredictable nature of Sadaqah and Lillāh, the institutes cannot function effectively, so as a result, they need to rely on the compulsory forms of donations which are Zakāh and Sadaqat-al-Fitr. This then leads to uses of Zakāh which is not permitted, like, but not limited to advocacy, interfaith, research, media monitoring, staff wages. Fundraising functions etc.


So how does one decide?


One has to see if the charity has an independent (not salaried) reputable Ulamā trustee board/panel who oversee and ensure he correct applications of Zakāh (the body/panel may charge for this but should not be directly employed, staff).


If this is not the case then charities also release their portfolios as to where funds have been used. So the bottom line, as with all matters in minority settings where the government does not take responsibility for religious affairs, is on trust and knowledge.
