Sadaqah is a voluntary act of giving in charity in Islam. It can be given at any time, in any amount, and to anyone in need. It is considered an act of kindness and generosity. On the other hand, Zakah is a mandatory form of giving in Islam, which is a fixed percentage (usually 2.5%) of a Muslim's wealth given annually to specific categories of people in need, as prescribed by Islamic law. Zakah is an obligation for all eligible Muslims, whereas Sadaqah is optional and based on one's own willingness to give.
