Amanahfy is built for Islamic giving, so Zakat and related categories are handled directly. You can mark a fund as Zakat-applicable, and donors can choose a stipulation — the giving category their donation falls under — so their Zakat, Sadaqah, or other giving is allocated correctly.
Marking a fund Zakat-applicable
Mark a fund as Zakat-applicable when donations to it can be given as Zakat. This lets donors giving their Zakat be confident it reaches an eligible cause.
Stipulations
A stipulation is the giving category a donor selects. The available stipulations are:
Stipulation | In plain terms |
General | Unrestricted giving (the default). |
Zakat | The obligatory annual almsgiving. |
Sadaqah | Voluntary charity. |
Lillah | A general gift for the sake of Allah, not counted as Zakat. |
Fidya | Given when a fast is missed and cannot be made up. |
Kaffarah | Expiation for certain broken fasts or oaths. |
Sadaqah Wajibah | Obligatory forms of charity, such as certain vows. |
Zakat Al Fitr | A smaller obligatory charity given before Eid al-Fitr. |
Donors see a Select stipulation step, with General selected by default. Each term is explained in the Glossary.
Good to know
Stipulations sit alongside funds: the fund decides the cause, the stipulation records the category of giving.
