Zakah
Accurate Zakah calculation, scholarly rulings on distribution, and formal eligibility certification for charitable projects.
What is the Zakah service?
Zakah is a pillar of Islam and a trust — both for the individual discharging it and the institution distributing it. Getting it right matters.
IFA supports individuals with calculation and rulings, and works with charities to certify that projects and funds are genuinely eligible to receive Zakah.
What we cover
Zakah-eligibility certification

Distribution rulings

Fund & project review
Reviewing how Zakah is collected, held, and disbursed so it stays compliant throughout.
Governance guidance
Helping institutions run sound, transparent Zakah governance their donors can trust.
Who this service is for
