Ramadan is the most blessed month of the year, offering countless opportunities to earn rewards through acts of worship and charity. Giving in charity during this sacred month not only fulfills religious obligations but also maximises blessings and benefits those in need.
Different Ways to Give Charity in Ramadan
1. Zakat – Fulfilling Your Religious Duty
Zakat is an obligatory act of charity for eligible Muslims who meet the Nisab threshold. It requires giving 2.5% of one’s accumulated wealth to those in need. Paying Zakat during Ramadan is highly recommended, as rewards for good deeds are multiplied manifold in this month. You can learn how to calculate Zakat manually on our webiste, you can also use our trusty and handy Zakat calculator.
2. Sadaqah – Voluntary Charity with Endless Rewards
Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah is a voluntary act of kindness that can be given in any amount at any time. Whether it’s providing food, helping a struggling family, or donating to a charitable cause, Sadaqah is an excellent way to increase your blessings.
3. Fidya – Compensation for Missed Fasts
Fidya is a form of charity given by individuals who are unable to fast due to illness, old age, or other valid reasons. It involves providing meals to those in need, ensuring that the spirit of Ramadan is upheld even by those who cannot fast.
4. Kaffarah – Making Amends for Broken Fasts
Kaffarah is the expiation required when someone deliberately breaks a fast without a valid reason. It involves either fasting for 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 poor individuals per missed fast.
Choosing the Best Charity to Give in Ramadan
With so many options, choosing the best way to give depends on your circumstances and intentions. Whether through Zakat, Sadaqah, Fidya, or Kaffarah, your generosity during Ramadan can transform lives and bring immense rewards.
