Donate Your Riba for the Sake of Goodness
Build Schools & Hospitals in Gilgit-Baltistan
In Islam, Riba (interest) is prohibited. If you have accumulated interest through bank accounts, loans, or other financial activities, donating it to charity is a Shariah-compliant way to dispose of haram earnings and allow it to benefit poor poeple in Gilgit-Baltistan.
At Kashmir Welfare Foundation, your Riba donations are used for building projects, such as schools and hospitals, as well as lifesaving emergency relief. These donations help save lives and serve communities in need, all while ensuring your wealth is purified in the eyes of Allah.
Donate Any Amount
You can donate any amount of Riba, large or small, to support Shariah-compliant building and emergency relief projects. Every contribution helps purify your wealth and turn prohibited earnings into blessings for those in need.
What is Riba in Islam?
Riba literally means “to exceed” in Arabic and refers to excess money added to borrowed amounts. The most common form is interest charged on loans or earned on savings, such as bank accounts, ISAs, or investment products.
Islam strictly forbids both earning and paying Riba, and many people may unintentionally accumulate it. Donating this interest to charity is a way to dispose of haram wealth in a responsible and Shariah-compliant manner.
How Riba Donations Are Used
Your Riba donations are primarily used for building projects, including schools, hospitals, and community infrastructure, as well as emergency relief where needed.
We do not typically use Riba donations for food-related projects, focusing instead on initiatives that create lasting impact and benefit for communities.
By giving Riba through Kashmir Welfare Foundation, your funds are applied transparently and ethically, turning prohibited earnings into blessings for those in need.
What to Do with Interest Money
Ideally, Muslims should avoid interest-based investments or transactions. However, this is not always possible. In such cases, you can keep track of any interest earned and donate it to charity in a Shariah-compliant manner.
Donating interest ensures that your wealth is purified, aligns with Islamic teachings, and is put to beneficial use, helping save lives and support community projects in Gilgit-Baltistan and beyond.
