By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Al Ihsaan Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Al Ihsaan Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Al Ihsaan Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Donation Total: £25.00

What is Fitrana?

Fitrana is an obligation on every Muslim who has wealth above the threshold of nisaab. It is a means of purifying the fasting person from their shortcomings in the month of Ramadhan.

How much is Fitrana?

The required quantity of fitrana was described by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as one saa’ of staple food. The monetary equivalent of this today is £5.00, however, if a person is well off they may pay more.

Who needs to pay Fitrana?

Fitrana is compulsory on a person if the total value of his zakatable assets equals the zakat nisaab or more. A man must also pay it on behalf of his child and voluntarily on his wife’s behalf. If he does not, it will be obligatory on the woman to pay it herself.

Fitrana is to be given to the poor and needy. It is an obligation to pay it before the Eid prayer, however, it is preferable for it to be paid in advance. This is so it can reach the needy in advance, so they may use that money for their Eid preparations.

Donate your Fitrana to Al-Ihsaan Trust to fulfill your obligation and help provide a happier Eid for the needy.
