Give Zakat Today

Zakat transforms the College’s work.

Cambridge Muslim College accepts zakat on behalf of our zakat-eligible students.

While there are a number of fiqh councils that have approved the use of zakat funds directly for running institutions that serve the Muslim community, Cambridge Muslim College adopts the wakāla model, which is in line with classical interpretations of zakat distribution. In this model, the zakat-eligible students appoint Cambridge Muslim College as their agent to collect the zakat on their behalf as well to disburse it to cover their tuition fees, accommodation, and stipend.

We do not use zakat to purchase buildings, for investment, or to directly pay salaries or maintain the premises. To ensure the appropriate distribution of zakat funds, we track and report on the amount collected and distributed each year.
