Dhul Hijjah Fasting and Charity
Discover the importance of fasting and charity during Dhul Hijjah. Follow Islamic teachings and maximise your blessings with Crisis Aid’s trusted support.
The Significance of Fasting and Charity in Dhul Hijjah
Dhul Hijjah—the final and most sacred month of the Islamic calendar—is a time like no other to deepen your worship and multiply your good deeds. The first ten days hold incredible spiritual weight, with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ reminding us that no righteous acts are more beloved to Allah than those performed during this period.
Fasting throughout these days, especially on the Day of Arafah, carries immense reward, known to wipe away the sins of the past and coming year. Alongside fasting, giving charity—whether Sadaqah or Zakat—during Dhul Hijjah unlocks blessings multiplied beyond measure.
Your generosity during this blessed month reaches families facing hardship, reflects the true spirit of compassion and sacrifice, and uplifts communities struggling to survive. When fasting and charity come together, you follow the Sunnah in a way that opens your heart to forgiveness, spiritual growth, and enduring blessings.
This sacred season offers a powerful opportunity to transform your faith into action—bringing hope to others and mercy upon yourself.

How to Observe Fasting and Give Charity During Dhul Hijjah with Crisis Aid
Fasting and giving charity during Dhul Hijjah offer a simple yet profound way to multiply your rewards and deepen your connection with Allah. Fasting on the first nine days, especially on the Day of Arafah, brings immense spiritual benefits, forgiving sins of the past and the year ahead. Remember, fasting is not permitted on Eid al-Adha itself. Alongside fasting, giving charity—whether Zakat, Sadaqah, or other donations—carries multiplied blessings and provides crucial support to those in need.
With Crisis Aid’s secure and easy-to-use online platform, you can donate to vital causes like food distribution, clean water projects, orphan care, and emergency relief across more than 20 countries. Fasting brings mercy and forgiveness, while charity cleanses your wealth and extends hope and compassion to vulnerable families.
Together, these acts during Dhul Hijjah strengthen your faith, fulfil your religious duties, and create lasting change for communities facing hardship worldwide.
