What is Zakat?

A divine obligation and a transformative act of worship.

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam—an obligatory form of charity that purifies wealth and redistributes resources to those most in need. By giving Zakat, Muslims support vulnerable families, uplift communities, and enable long-term sustainability.

Zakat FAQ

Your common questions answered.

How do I know my Zakat is distributed correctly?
  • Human Concern has been implementing Zakat projects for the last 40 years. We implement projects that are Zakat eligible and have the most impact on those in need. This includes income assistance, emergency and disaster relief, food aid and refugee support. 
  • This is our commitment to you: 
  • Zakat funds are marked separately in our system. We ensure that these funds do not mix with any other funds. 
  • The beneficiaries of our Zakat projects are only those who qualify to be Zakat recipients. 
  • All Zakat funds are only spent on people who fall within the Zakat recipient categories (see page 3 for the list). 
  • We disburse unrestricted Zakat funds to the recipients within a timeframe of 1-3 months or earlier after receiving them. 
  • We have a Zakat Compliance Committee that approves all our Zakat projects and guides us on Zakat related matters.
Yes, Zakat contributions can be tax-deductible in the US, but only if they meet specific Charitable Contribution Deductions IRS requirements for charitable contributions.
It is permissible to use Zakat to cover medical costs and treatment for those who cannot afford it. A person who is unable to cover their essential healthcare needs is considered poor or needy in this context.
