Shortly after we receive your donation, we will acknowledge it by email, detailing the appeals you have donated towards. This email is issued automatically.

Acceptance of your donation for an appeal and completion of the contract between you and us will take place when we receive the full amount of the appeal into our bank account.

We accept Visa Debit card, Switch, Mastercard and Visa card. We cannot accept payment by cheque for donation made via the Internet.

If we cannot use your donations in the appeal you requested. Due to the appeal being unavailable we will put your donation towards suitable substitute.

If we receive more donations than our target set for any campaign or appeal or project. Any extra donations we receive will be put towards similar projects and appeals.

If we do not raise enough funds for a particular appeal, which you have donated to, the management will use their discretion to either add funds from the general donations to complete that appeal or move the donations from the insufficient fund to another similar fund.

We also collect and correctly apply donations by Islamic categories, like Fidya, Kaffarah, Zakat, Aqeeqah, these are restricted by Shariah Criteria, in which the management will select the country based on overall considerations.

If you want to cancel your donation before it is used for your requested appeal or project, please contact our team by email, telephone or post – see Contact us for our details.
