Refugee Families Need Your Zakat
In this month of Ramadan, show your compassion and generosity by giving to those in greatest need. Your donation with UNHCR will reach refugees and internally displaced families who are most vulnerable — and bring a small measure of peace and comfort to their lives.
Amidst natural disasters, rising prices, ongoing conflicts and shrinking economies, many refugee and displaced families are forced to choose between eating or heating, paying rent or buying lifesaving medicines.
Help us provide cash assistance to refugees and internally displaced people to help them buy the essentials they need.
UNHCR’s Refugee Zakat Fund is Sharia compliant, backed by 17 fatwas from leading Muslim scholars and institutions, including the Canadian Council of Imams.
60% of today’s refugees and IDPs are from OIC countries and fall under 4 out of 8 Zakat categories: Poor (Al Foqara’), Needy (Al Masakeen), Debtors (Al Gharimin), Wayfarers (Abna’ Al Sabeel)
