Hidaya Foundation collects and distributes Zakat donations per Islamic guidelines as mentioned in Chapter 9: Verse 60 in Al-Quran.
Though Zakat funds are almost always distributed directly by Hidaya Foundation, it sometimes becomes necessary to engage other reliable organizations and partners in order to extend Hidaya’s reach in assisting orphans, widows, and families in extreme poverty. Zakat is distributed in the form of basic necessities such as cash, dry rations, clothing and in the form of various other projects such as medical assistance, water hand pumps, educational needs...etc.
The proper distribution of Zakat is a personal responsibility. You are encouraged to give Zakat yourself, preferably or to a reliable organization who has the ability to distribute Zakat per Islamic guidelines.
Note: For any Zakat related questions, kindly email us at: zakat@hidaya.org
