Not everybody qualifies for government support, and those who do often find it is not sufficient to cover all of their basic needs. For example, a single adult living in Toronto or Vancouver may get $700 – $800 in support each month.

Those who are seeking Zakat go through a financial assessment process in order to determine if they are qualified to receive Zakat in accordance with the guidelines set by our Shari’ah Advisors. Our team of caseworkers work with each client to ensure that all information is accurate, and the needs of the client can be met through Zakat assistance.
