If you mean different types of giving to charity, you should know that there are many different things you could give to charity to complete this Pillar. You could give things like food and clothes, but the most common thing given is probably money. Muslims are expected to give 2.5% of their income to charity each year, so Zakat is a pillar which continues throughout your whole life because the more you give, the better. You could also give anything worthy or necessary to countries in Africa, which aren't as fortunate. Pray for them too, because you will prove to the Merciful Allah that you are worthy of his acceptance.

Can you pay zakat in instalments?

Yes, Zakat can be paid in installments. This can be helpful if someone is not able to pay the full amount at once. However, it's best to make sure the full Zakat amount is paid within the same Islamic (lunar) year__ it becomes due. Paying in parts is allowed, but the full amount should be completed before the next Zakat year. This helps keep the Zakat obligation complete and on time. Some organizations, like Penny Appeal Canada, allow people to donate Zakat in monthly or custom amounts. According to their Zakat policy, 100% of the donation goes to people in need, with no money taken for administration. They also make sure the Zakat is given to those who are eligible, and they keep the funds in a separate bank account until it's used. Anyone who wants to give Zakat in installments or see which causes are eligible can visit their website: pennyappeal.ca/program/zakat/ If someone is unsure how to calculate their Zakat, it's a good idea to speak with a scholar or contact the organization for help.


What can you get zakat for yourself?

Zakat is meant for specific eligible groups, as outlined in the Qur’an (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60). If you are struggling financially and meet the criteria—such as having little to no income or being in debt—you may be eligible to receive Zakat. However, you cannot give Zakat to yourself from your own wealth. Zakat must be given to someone else who qualifies. If you are in need, organizations like Penny Appeal USA can help ensure Zakat donations reach people just like you—with dignity and care. Donate Now: pennyappealusa.org/campaigns/zakat-2/
