FAQ
Your questions answered.
What is the difference between Zakat and Sadaqah?
Zakat is an obligatory, annual purification of wealth (typically 2.5%) given to specific recipients, while Sadaqah is any voluntary charitable act or giving, with no set amount, timing, or strict rules, and can range from monetary donations to simple good deeds like helping someone or speaking kindly
Can Sadaqah be given to non-Muslims?
Yes, Sadaqah can absolutely be given to non-Muslims, as it’s a broad act of kindness not limited by religion, unlike mandatory Zakat, which is generally restricted to Muslims.
Is Sadaqah tax-deductible?
Yes, Sadaqah is tax-deductible in the US, provided it is given to a US-based, IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The donation is treated under the same IRS guidelines as other charitable contributions.
What is Sadaqah Jariyah?
Sadaqah Jariyah, meaning “continuous charity” or “flowing charity” in Arabic, is an Islamic concept of giving that provides lasting benefits to others, generating ongoing rewards for the donor even after death. It differs from regular charity by its enduring impact, such as building a well, planting trees, or establishing a school, where the reward continues as long as people benefit.
