House of Sadaqa Zakat Policy

House of Sadaqa is committed to upholding the highest standards of Islamic principles in the collection and distribution of zakat. This policy ensures that zakat funds are utilized strictly for their intended purpose, providing direct assistance to those eligible under Islamic law.

100% Zakat Disbursement

House of Sadaqa operates on a 100% zakat distribution model, meaning that 0% of zakat donations are used for administrative, operational, or marketing expenses. Every zakat dollar received is directed entirely toward those in need.

Eligible Beneficiaries

Zakat is distributed in accordance with the eight eligible categories mentioned in the Quran (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60). Our primary focus includes:

• The poor (al-fuqara’)
• The needy (al-masakin)
• Those in debt (al-gharimun)
• Refugees and displaced persons
• Individuals facing financial hardship

Zakat Fund Allocation Process

To maintain transparency and efficiency:

• Zakat funds are segregated from other donations (e.g., sadaqah and general charity).
• Beneficiaries undergo a strict verification process to assess eligibility.
• Funds are disbursed in the form of financial aid, essential household items, food, or other direct support.

Transparency & Accountability

House of Sadaqa maintains complete financial transparency through:

• Clear reporting on zakat collections and distributions
• Public impact reports to donors

Administrative Costs

All administrative costs related to zakat distribution (e.g., staffing, logistics, processing) are covered through non-zakat funding sources, such as:

• General donations
• Corporate sponsorships
• Grants
• In-kind contributions

Commitment to Islamic Compliance

House of Sadaqa follows the guidance of Islamic scholars and ensures that all zakat funds are managed in strict adherence to Islamic jurisprudence.
