Donation Types

Sadaqah/Lillah
These are just terms used for the word 'charity' and apply to most donations. If you are ever unsure, select sadaqah as the donation type.
Zakah
Zakah donations are alms given to the poor as part of the requirement in Islam to give 2.5% of one's wealth each year to the needy. Zakah differs from sadaqah in that there are only certain projects upon which zakah can be spent.
Other
This encompasses other donation types such as 'kaffarah,' which is a form of expiation for certain acts.
