While it's not mandatory to keep formal evidence of zakat payments, having records can be beneficial for personal tracking and accountability. Documentation can help ensure that you fulfill your zakat obligations correctly and may also be useful for tax purposes in some jurisdictions. Ultimately, the emphasis is on the intention and fulfillment of the obligation rather than on having physical proof.

According to their Zakat policy, 100% of the donation goes to people in need, with no money taken for administration.
