At HC USA, we take great care to ensure that Zakat reaches those most in need, whether they are vulnerable individuals or entire communities affected by poverty or disaster. Our field teams work closely with local partners and community-based organizations to conduct needs assessments and identify recipients of the Zakat funds. This way, we maximize the impact of each contribution, ensuring that it goes directly into the hands of those who require it most.

The Third Pillar of Islam

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and is obligatory for every mature, sane, and free Muslim who has accumulated the minimum required amount of wealth (nisab). By giving part of their wealth as Zakat, Muslims perform a religious duty, cleanse their possessions, and contribute to the overall health of society by uplifting those in need of economic support and relief.

Zakat offers numerous social and economic benefits, such as:

  • Social Security: Provides a safety net for those in need.
  • Redistribution of Wealth: Ensures a more equitable distribution of resources.

Recipients of Zakat can use the funds to:

  • Pay off debts
  • Send children to school
  • Provide food and shelter for their families

Timing and Calculation

Zakat is payable once a year, with most Muslims choosing to pay during Ramadan due to the increased rewards and blessings associated with charity in this holy month.
