CAN ZAKAH BE UTILISED FOR EDUCATION IN THE UK?
The UKIEW Trustees take their responsibility to ensure compliance with the Shariah and the need to remain within the framework of the Qur'an and Sunnah very seriously. The Trustees have consulted authoritative scholars of Islam (Ulema) from the major schools of thought to seek their guidance on the best way to help the cause
of Islamic Education for Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim countries. Their response presented details of the eight categories of people and services for which it is permissible to utilise Zakah funds. UKIEW has therefore devised both a Shariah compliant process of identifying those who are eligible and a Shariah compliant procedure of
allocating Zakah funds. For example the money is not given directly to the school but a UKIEW voucher for a given sum of money is sent to the family of the child.
Most applicants who apply for financial assistance fall into the following categories:
|
1.
|
Orphans whose carers apply on their behalf
|
|
2.
|
Single mothers bringing up children under considerable financial hardship
|
|
3.
|
Widows in the poverty trap
|
|
4.
|
Unemployed carers going through hard times
|
|
5.
|
Families with several children being educated in a Muslim school Parents who wish to educate their children Islamically and to bring them up as good Muslims but who cannot afford school fees.with that accountability.

The UK Islamic Education Waqf (UKIEW) seeks donations to help pay for community based education projects in Britain. Alhamdulillah, since its establishment in 1991, the UKIEW has raised and distributed almost £1.8 million to weekend schools, madrassas and full-time Muslim schools around the country. This work has depended on the help of Allah and support from generous people like you....
The education of children is an on-going reality. Remember, you can pay Zakah and Sadaqah towards Islamic education (this helps us pay school fees for needy youngsters) as well as any other donation to assist young Muslims to have a better future, insha'Allah.
The cost of providing an Islamic education can be less than the cost of a satellite dish. The price to pay for no Islamic Education is too much to contemplate - drugs, promiscuity, domestic violence, broken homes and so on.
Please spend what you can to support UKIEW in its work. If you help us, we can help full-time and part-time Muslim schools to provide our children with a balanced Islamic education. It's our community's future we are talking about.
So please, send your donation today.
