Charity: where Muslim women can give

Give your zakat, for Muslim women

Zakat kept for zakat. Zakat goes to the eight kinds of people the Quran names (Quran 9:60). Give your zakat on DonateOpenly, where it is kept for zakat causes and every gift is shown on the open ledger. Not sure of the amount? DonateOpenly’s zakat calculator adds your savings and gold with today’s prices, and our step-by-step zakat guide explains each part.

Food and water aid reaches families in need, with every pound shown.

Sadaqah, and charity that keeps giving

Even half a date. Protect yourself from the Fire, even with half a date (Sahih al-Bukhari 1417). Give sadaqah through DonateOpenly at any time and in any amount, or choose a sadaqah jariyah project, such as water or a well, whose good carries on after you.

Mothers, babies and orphans

Where women and children need it most. The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like one who strives in Allah’s cause (Sahih al-Bukhari 5353). In Gaza, DonateOpenly’s mother and baby bundles and its appeal for Gaza’s orphans show what each gift buys and when it was delivered.

Ramadan and fitrana

Before the Eid prayer. Fitrana is paid for every member of the household before the Eid prayer (Sahih al-Bukhari 1503). DonateOpenly’s fitrana 2027 page gives this year’s amount per person.

Check a charity first

Look at the record. DonateOpenly’s ranking of UK Muslim charities gives its opinion of each registered charity from its public records, such as its accounts and how clearly it reports its spending, and its list of charities shows every one you can give to there.
