Zakat – Fulfil Your Obligation with Crisis Aid
Give your Zakat through Crisis Aid and help eligible families in need across the world. Your contribution brings relief, dignity, and lasting impact.
Donate Your Zakat
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a religious obligation for every eligible Muslim. It is not a voluntary act of charity but a fixed duty. The word “Zakat” means purification and growth, signifying the spiritual and social benefits that come from giving a portion of one’s wealth to those in need. Each year, Muslims who possess wealth above a minimum threshold, known as the nisab, are required to give 2.5% of their qualifying assets. These include savings, business goods, gold, silver, and certain investments. Personal belongings such as your home, vehicle, and day-to-day clothing are excluded from Zakat.
The main purpose of Zakat is to support those who are struggling to meet their basic needs. It aims to create balance in society by circulating wealth and helping individuals who are facing poverty, debt, displacement, or difficulty. The Qur’an outlines specific categories of people who are eligible to receive Zakat. These include the poor, the destitute, those in debt, and others facing hardship. The system is designed to protect the vulnerable while purifying the wealth of the giver.

Why Give Your Zakat Through Crisis Aid?
Crisis Aid has been working across more than 20 countries to distribute Zakat to those most in need. Our team ensures that your Zakat is delivered directly to eligible recipients. Every case is assessed carefully to meet Islamic criteria. We do not generalise the use of Zakat funds. Each donation is managed with clear intention and accurate allocation. From emergency response in war-torn regions to essential aid for orphans and widows, your Zakat provides direct relief to those who qualify under Islamic law.
Many of the people we support live in places where access to food, water, and medical care is limited. Your Zakat can be used to buy essential food, help pay for urgent medical treatment, support education, or provide clean drinking water. It also helps restore dignity and hope for families who have lost everything due to conflict or disaster. In some cases, it allows individuals to rebuild their lives through small business support or vocational training, offering a long-term path out of poverty.
We make the Zakat process simple and secure. You can calculate your Zakat using our online tool and choose where you want your donation to go. Whether you want to support a specific country or allow us to allocate your funds where the need is greatest, we ensure that every payment is handled with care and respect. Our transparent system allows you to fulfil your religious obligation with peace of mind.
By paying your Zakat through Crisis Aid, you are choosing an organisation that is dedicated to Islamic principles and committed to helping those who qualify. We deliver your Zakat responsibly, directly, and with full accountability. It’s not just about giving—it’s about restoring hope, supporting dignity, and fulfilling a duty that brings benefit both in this life and the next.
