Zakat

At Muslim Response USA, we are extra cautious while dealing with Zakat funds and make sure that the beneficiaries fall under the eight designated categories as defined in the Holy Quran and specified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Sadaqah

Sadaqah is a voluntary act of charity performed out of kindness, generosity, compassion, friendship or faith.

Sadaqah Jariyah

Sadaqah Jariyah, or ongoing charity, refers to acts of giving that continue to benefit others long after they are made.

Aqiqah

Aqiqah is the Islamic tradition of giving charity by sacrificing animals after the birth of a new baby. Aqiqah is performed by the parents/guardian for expressing gratitude to Allah..

Fidyah & Kaffarah

Fidyah and Kaffarah are to be given only to the poor and needy to compensate for breaking these obligations, which in turn benefit members of the larger community who are in dire need of financial assistance.
