The quick answer

This site links Zakat calculation with information about giving. World Aid Network’s medical work includes eye care and cancer treatment. Read the current programme details and confirm how an intended Zakat payment will reach eligible recipients.

Eye surgery and eye care

Read about cataract surgery funding and the current parent-site programme. Contributions support care according to the programme’s terms and patient needs. Costs are estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.

Cancer care

The cancer treatment page explains the donor questions to ask. For the latest scope and appeals, visit World Aid Network’s cancer programme.

Religious payment types

Zakat, Sadaqah, Fitrana, fidya and kaffarah are not interchangeable. Confirm that the programme can fulfil the requirements of your intended payment. In particular, general medical support is not automatically a feeding obligation.

Check before giving

Review the donation policy, current registration information and the recipient process. Use the free calculator if you still need to estimate your annual wealth Zakat.
