Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Human Aid Initiative 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 Human Aid Initiative 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 Human Aid Initiative 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: £5.00

“And as for those who can fast with difficulty, they have to feed a poor person” – Al-Qur’an 2:184

What is Fidyah?

In Islam, Fidyah is a donation of money or food to help those in need. This form of donation is made when someone cannot fast for the required number of days and will not be able to make these up. To make up for these missed days, they can donate to charity. Ramadan is a time of giving, so donations such as these are valued even more so during the month.

Who donates Fidyah?

You are able to pay Fidyah if you have missed or are exempt from fasting due to old age, pregnancy, illness or any other reason in which you are unable to make up the fasts up later.

Who can receive Fidyah?

Fidyah is to be given only to the poor and needy, not to everyone. Similar to Zakat, those entitled to receive Fidyah are regarded as being among those who are entitled to zakat.

How much Fidyah to donate?

£5 per fast missed or £150 if you are unable to do the entire month (30 days).
