Interest Disposal

In Islam, interest (riba) is considered impermissible. However, modern banking makes it nearly impossible to avoid earning interest on savings and current accounts entirely.

Many scholars advise that this interest should be disposed of — not kept as personal income, but directed toward charitable purposes. While this is not considered sadaqah (and no spiritual reward is expected), it fulfils the obligation to not benefit from impermissible income.

Common uses include giving to the poor, humanitarian relief, infrastructure for communities in need, and other general welfare causes. The key principle is removing it from your wealth and directing it toward genuine benefit.

Through this platform, you can direct your interest earnings toward verified humanitarian causes. We consolidate these contributions alongside regular donations and transfer them to ground partners providing emergency relief, clean water, food, and other essentials.

When donating, simply select "Interest Disposal" as the donation type. This helps us categorise and track these contributions separately, maintaining transparency.
