Zakat & Sadaqah

Shah Sultana Memorial Welfare Organisation accepts Zakat and Sadaqah contributions to support eligible individuals, patients, children and families facing financial hardship.

Your contribution can help provide food, essential medicines, medical assistance, educational support and emergency relief to deserving beneficiaries.

We aim to distribute welfare assistance respectfully and responsibly while protecting the dignity and privacy of the people receiving support.

Give with Compassion and Responsibility

Zakat and Sadaqah provide an opportunity to support people who are unable to meet their essential daily needs.

Many deserving families face difficulties because of unemployment, illness, disability, old age, loss of an earning family member or unexpected emergencies. Your contribution can reduce their hardship and provide practical assistance during a difficult period.

What Is Zakat?

Zakat is an obligatory form of charity for eligible Muslims who meet the applicable financial requirements.

It is intended to support eligible beneficiaries and helps promote compassion, responsibility and social welfare within the community.

Donors should calculate their Zakat according to their personal financial circumstances and seek guidance from a qualified Islamic scholar when necessary.
