FAQ

Zadqah is a new digital ecosystem for Zakat and Sadaqah, built to restore the true Islamic spirit of giving — transparent, dignified, and free from exploitation.

Zadqah combines two sacred Islamic concepts:

• Zakat (obligatory charity)
• Sadaqah (voluntary charity)

into a single, ethical, technology-driven platform.

Zadqah is not a crowdfunding website.

Unlike traditional platforms where money is first collected by an organization and later distributed, Zadqah enables direct, real-time transfer of funds from donor to beneficiary.

Key differences:

• No centralized fund collection
• No holding of donor money
• No organizational redistribution
• No commission or brokerage

Every rupee moves directly from the donor to the beneficiary.

Yes. Zadqah is India’s first online platform where Zakat and Sadaqah are given directly to verified beneficiaries, without any middlemen and without paying commission to anyone.

This model ensures:

• Full transparency
• Immediate impact
• Complete trust

No. Absolutely none.

Zadqah follows a zero-commission, zero-brokerage policy.
The entire donated amount reaches the beneficiary directly.

The process is simple and ethical:

1. A beneficiary or cause is verified and listed
2. The donor selects the cause
3. Donation is made securely
4. Funds are transferred directly to the beneficiary in real time

Zadqah never holds or controls your donation.

Zadqah is designed as a self-regulated ecosystem, not a donation pool.

Transparency is ensured through:

• 100% verified beneficiaries and institutions
• Budget-based fundraising (no over-collection)
• Real-time progress tracking
• Automatic closure of fulfilled causes
• No fund accumulation at platform level

Transparency is built into the system, not promised later.

Yes. Zadqah strictly follows Islamic principles of Zakat and Sadaqah, including:

• Clear ownership transfer
• Zakat given only to eligible recipients
• No delay, misuse, or institutional control
• Zakat treated as Ibadah (act of worship)

Direct transfer ensures complete Shariah integrity.

Zakat recipients are verified based on Islamic eligibility criteria, such as:

• Poor and needy individuals
• Widows and dependents
• Students unable to afford education
• Patients needing urgent medical care
• Eligible Madarsas

Zakat is never diverted or generalized.

Yes. Zadqah consciously breaks a long-standing misconception.

Sadaqah can be given to non-Muslims, especially in cases of:

• Poverty
• Illness and medical emergencies
• Education
• Humanitarian crises

This aligns with Islamic ethics and compassion.

Because Islamic jurisprudence clearly distinguishes between the two:

• Zakat → strictly for eligible Muslim recipients
• Sadaqah → open for broader humanitarian support

Zadqah respects and enforces this distinction.

All beneficiaries and institutions undergo a verification process before being listed, ensuring:

• Genuine need
• Authentic documentation
• Budget clarity
• Purpose-specific fundraising

Verification replaces blind trust with system-based trust.

No. Zadqah follows budget-based fundraising only.

Each cause:

• Has a defined financial requirement
• Stops receiving donations once the goal is met
• Is automatically closed after completion

This prevents over-collection and misuse.

Yes. Zadqah aims to create a future where Madarsas and Masjids function without door-to-door fundraising, through:

• Verified institutional support
• Transparent need-based funding
• Ethical Zakat and Sadaqah allocation

No.

Zadqah’s goal is not volume — it is impact, trust, and integrity.

The platform prioritizes:

• Meaningful outcomes
• Dignified support
• Faith-compliant giving

Zadqah addresses critical issues such as:

• Lack of transparency in charity systems
• Exploitation in the name of religion
• Delays in fund delivery
• Misuse and over-collection of Zakat
• Loss of dignity for beneficiaries

Zadqah envisions becoming India’s most trusted digital platform for ethical Islamic giving, and a global example of transparency and accountability.

A future where:

• Zakat remains pure worship
• No patient dies for lack of funds
• No student drops out due to fees
• No widow is left helpless

Zadqah is more than a platform.

It is a movement to reform, purify, and modernize Islamic charity without compromising faith, dignity, or trust.
