Send your Zakat to Gaza with IF Charity

Zakat is more than just an obligation – it is a powerful means of transforming lives. In Gaza, where communities have endured immense hardship, your Zakat can provide essential relief, bringing food, clean water, medical aid, and hope to those struggling to survive.

As we reflect on our blessings and fulfil our duty to help those in need this Ramadan, consider directing your Zakat where it is needed most – to the people of Gaza.

The urgent need for Zakat in Gaza

The recent events in Gaza have left hundreds of thousands of families displaced – almost the entire population of Gaza – without homes, food, or medical care. The humanitarian situation is dire, with many struggling to meet their basic needs.

• Food insecurity is at an all-time high – families are unable to afford basic supplies, and many rely on emergency aid to break their fast.
• Clean water is scarce – with infrastructure damaged, thousands of families struggle to access safe drinking water.
• Medical needs are overwhelming – hospitals are stretched beyond capacity, and patients often go without essential medicines or treatment.
• Children are suffering – trauma, malnutrition, and lack of support threaten their futures.

Your Zakat has the power to change this. It can provide immediate relief to struggling families, ensuring that they receive food, water, medical aid, and the support they need to survive and rebuild their lives.

Why choose IF Charity to distribute your Zakat?

When giving Zakat, you want to ensure that your donation reaches those who need it most, in the most effective way possible.

• Zakat-compliant distribution – We ensure that your Zakat is distributed according to Islamic guidelines, reaching those who are eligible and in desperate need.

What assets must Zakat be paid on?

Zakat is an obligation upon every eligible Muslim who possesses wealth above the Nisab threshold (approx £497) for a full lunar year. It must be paid on specific types of assets, including:

• Cash savings (held in banks, at home, or in business accounts)
• Gold and silver (whether in jewellery, coins, or bullion)
• Investments (stocks, shares, pensions, and other investment funds)
• Business assets (goods for trade, profits, and savings from business operations)
• Rental income (from properties or land)
• Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets)

Zakat is typically calculated at 2.5% of the total wealth that has been held above the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year.
