The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Charity does not decrease wealth.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Sadaqa (صدقة) refers to voluntary charity given by a Muslim for the sake of Allah. Unlike Zakat, which is obligatory and has fixed rules, Sadaqa is optional, can be given at any time, in any amount, and for a wide range of charitable causes. Sadaqa may be given in the form of money, food, clothing, services, or even a kind act done with sincere intention.
Why Sadaqa Matters
Sadaqa is highly encouraged (mustahabb) in Islam and carries immense spiritual reward. It is mentioned repeatedly in the Qur’an and Hadith as a means of attaining Allah’s pleasure, purifying wealth, and protecting oneself from hardship.
Giving Sadaqa
Sadaqa can be given at any time, including during ease or hardship. It is not limited by minimum amounts, and even small contributions carry great reward when given sincerely.
Forms of Sadaqa include:
Supporting the poor, orphans, and widows
Providing food, clean water, clothing, or shelter
Funding education, healthcare, and livelihood projects
Assisting during emergencies and disasters
Any beneficial act done solely for the sake of Allah
Regular Sadaqa helps cultivate generosity, gratitude, and social equity within the community.
