The Humanitarian Crisis Facing Gaza

Complete your obligation and purify your wealth. Every penny goes to those most vulnerable, Zakat-verified by scholars.

This Ramadan, families in Gaza are enduring hunger, displacement and relentless hardship. Many are struggling to make it through the month without urgent help. Lives are being lost, and the need for your Zakat has never been greater.

Zakat is not simply charity — it is a right. It is a right owed to the orphans, widows and displaced families of Gaza, offering them hope after suffering through war, poverty and loss. When you give your Zakat to those in need, you are not merely transferring wealth. You are delivering a provision that Allah has already written for them.

We have been channels for your mercy since 1991, spending Zakat funds exclusively on those most vulnerable - the first and most urgent category of Zakat. We cannot leave the Palestinians of Gaza to face Ramadan alone. Give 100% of your Zakat now and help save lives today.

How We Deliver Your Zakat — Verified, Transparent, Accountable

For 35 years, Human Appeal has transformed Zakat into a lifeline for people in crisis. Here is how your donation reaches those who need it most:

Step 1 — We Verify the Need

Our field teams assess the most urgent needs on the ground, identifying families who qualify as Zakat recipients under Sharia — starting with the poor, needy, displaced, orphans and widows. Our Work is Scholar-Verified. An independent Zakat Advisory Board, made up of respected scholars, has ratified our Zakat policy and continues to provide advice to ensure our policy is fully Shari'ah-compliant.

Step 2 — We Source Locally Where Possible

Almost all our projects are sourced locally. We work with trusted local partners and suppliers to source food, water, medical supplies and essentials efficiently and ethically.

Step 3 — We Distribute Rapidly

Aid is distributed by our verified field teams. Your support provides mobile clinics, mobile schools, clean water, food parcels, fresh vegetables and hot meals to families who urgently need your help.

Step 4 — We Report Back to You

Every project is monitored and reported on. In its 35th year, Human Appeal is proud to be one of only a few UK-based charities to have been certified against the CHS (Core Humanitarian Standard), a rigorous global standard for humanitarian work — an independent body that examines how we use your donations every year, ensuring they are spent as effectively as possible.

Your Zakat in Ramadan Carries 70 Times the Reward

Within the last ten nights of Ramadan lies Laylatul Qadr — a night worth more than a thousand months. For many believers, this is the moment they fulfil their Zakat and complete one of the five pillars of Islam. Giving your Zakat now means your obligation becomes relief for a family, protection for a child and provision for someone who has nothing left.

This Ramadan, you can be the vehicle through which Allah SWT provides for His servants who are calling out for help. Give 100% of your Zakat now — and let the blessings of this sacred month multiply your reward.

Zakat FAQs

  • What is Zakat?

    Zakat is the third of the five pillars of Islam. It is a charitable duty that purifies wealth and is incumbent upon adult Muslims.

  • Who is eligible to receive Zakat?

    There are eight categories of people who are eligible to receive Zakat: the poor; the needy; administrators of Zakat; those whose hearts have been recently reconciled (meaning new Muslims and friends of the Muslim community); those who have been enslaved; those in debt; those in the cause of God; and travellers (including refugees). A poor person is someone whose property, in excess of their basic requirements, does not reach the Nisab threshold. The recipient must not belong to your immediate family — your spouse, children, parents and grandparents cannot receive your Zakat. Other relatives, however, can.

  • Why give your Zakat to Human Appeal?

    Entrust your Zakat to Human Appeal's 35 years of experience. Our projects are all scholar-verified, Zakat-applicable, as well as sustainable and impactful, continuing to benefit people for years to come.

  • How much money do I have to possess to qualify?

    You should pay Zakat if your wealth is equal to or above the Nisab (threshold), which varies each year and is based on the price of silver. As of March 2026, the Nisab for silver is approximately £1,244.54, so any money or assets you have above this amount hold a duty of Zakat. Our Zakat calculator automatically updates the Nisab based on the daily value of silver.

  • What possessions do I pay Zakat on?

    Any gold, silver, jewellery, stocks and shares, cryptocurrency, savings, money you have loaned to others, property, pensions and business stock should be included in your Nisab calculation.

  • How much Zakat do I pay?

    In concrete terms, you pay approximately 2.5% of your excess wealth in Zakat. Our Zakat calculator takes the stress out of the calculation, working out exactly what you owe with an up-to-date Nisab value.

  • When should Zakat be paid?

    Once you have more Zakat-eligible wealth than the Nisab and a full lunar year has passed, Zakat is due immediately. It is then due annually if your wealth stays above the Nisab.

  • How much of my savings should I apply Zakat to?

    Zakat applies to any savings you have held for a full year. This usually means you input the minimum amount you have had in your account since you last calculated your Zakat one year ago. Include all bank accounts, cryptocurrency, PayPal balance and any money at home or in hand. Any interest received from the bank is haram, must not be included, and should be donated directly to charity to offset any sin it brings.

  • What does one do about missed Zakat payments?

    If you have missed Zakat payments over the years, you must make an informed estimate of the Zakat missed for each year and pay it accordingly. These payments are still due even if many years have passed, and whether or not you knew they were obligatory.

  • Do you have a Zakat policy?

    Yes. Our Zakat policy is available on our website and is reviewed annually by a panel of four scholars. Download our Zakat policy to learn more.

  • How is my Zakat donation used in Gaza?

    100% of your Zakat donation goes directly to those in greatest need. In Gaza, this means food parcels, clean water, mobile clinic healthcare and essential aid for displaced families, orphans and widows — all distributed by our verified field teams.

  • How quickly is aid delivered after I donate?

    Our field teams distribute aid within 24 hours of procurement. We work with trusted local partners across Gaza — sourcing almost all supplies locally — to ensure rapid, efficient delivery to those who qualify as Zakat recipients.

  • Can I give Zakat on behalf of someone else?

    Yes, you can give Zakat on behalf of another Muslim. Simply calculate the amount they owe and donate on their behalf at checkout.

Transforming families with just 2.5% of your wealth. Give your Zakat to Gaza. A donation of £384 provides 166 people with a full year of clean water every single day — 365 days of blessings flowing for you. In these final nights of Ramadan, your Zakat is not just relief — it is worship, obedience and multiplied reward. Do not delay what Allah has already written for those in need.
