Giving: donations, Zakat and Fitr Zakat
Give to a masjid by UPI or bank transfer, then send the reference number and a screenshot. The masjid checks the payment and sends your receipt.
What it does
- Three kinds of giving at the top of the Give screen: Donation, Zakat and Fitr Zakat. Zakat and Fitr Zakat show only when the masjid collects them through the app (Fitr Zakat only during its season).
- Donation: choose For: General donation, a donation category (for example building fund) or a project. For a project with items you can choose Sponsor and How many; the amount fills itself.
- Fitr Zakat: the masjid's rate per person is shown. Set Number of people with − and +; the amount is worked out for you.
- Pay in two steps. 1. Pay the masjid: by UPI (copy the UPI ID or tap Pay with a UPI app) or by bank transfer (the masjid's bank details are shown). 2. Send the payment details: the reference number and a screenshot.
- Tick Don't show my name if you do not want your name on the masjid's public lists, such as a project's donor list.
- Card or online payment inside the app is not available yet. Payment always happens in your own UPI or bank app. To give online by card or UPI right away, use an appeal on the website's Give to a cause page.
Give a donation by UPI
- Open the masjid page and tap Give (or tap Give on Home for your masjid).
- Keep Donation selected. Under For, pick General donation, a category or a project.
- Type the Amount or tap a quick amount (₹100, ₹500, ₹1,000, ₹5,000).
- Under 1. Pay the masjid, keep UPI and tap Pay ₹… with a UPI app. Your UPI app opens with the masjid and amount filled in; pay there.
- Come back, and in your UPI app copy the reference number (UTR) of the payment. Take a screenshot of the success screen.
- Under 2. Send the payment details, paste the UPI / bank reference number and choose the screenshot.
- Tap Send. You see the amount and Sent to the masjid; your receipt comes once they confirm.
- If the UPI app button does not open anything (for example on a computer), tap Copy next to the UPI ID and pay that ID from your phone.
- Both the reference number and the screenshot (image or PDF) are required.
Give by bank transfer
- Open Give for the masjid and choose the kind of giving and the amount.
- Under 1. Pay the masjid, tap BANK. The masjid's bank account details appear.
- Make the transfer from your bank app using those details.
- Under 2. Send the payment details, enter the transfer reference number and choose a screenshot of the transfer.
- Tap Send.
Pay Zakat to the masjid
- Open the masjid page and tap Give.
- Tap Zakat at the top.
- Type the amount of Zakat you are paying.
- Pay by UPI or bank, then enter the reference number and choose the screenshot.
- Tap Send. The masjid records it in its Zakat cell, kept separate from general donations, once it checks the payment.
- The app does not calculate your Zakat. Work out the amount first, or ask the masjid's Zakat cell.
Pay Fitr Zakat for your family
- Open the masjid page and tap Give.
- Tap Fitr Zakat at the top. The rate per person is shown.
- Number of people starts at you plus the family members you added under Me → Family. Change it with − and +; the Amount updates by itself.
- Pay that amount by UPI or bank.
- Enter the reference number, choose the screenshot and tap Send.
- Fitr Zakat shows only while the masjid's Fitr Zakat season is open.
Sponsor items in a project (for example Iftar kits)
- Open the project from the masjid page and tap Give to this (or pick the project under For on the Give screen).
- Under Sponsor, choose the item. Its price is shown.
- Set How many. The Amount becomes price × number.
- Pay, enter the reference number and screenshot, and tap Send.
Questions
Why haven't I got a receipt yet?
The masjid's treasurer must first find your payment in the masjid's account and approve it. Until then it shows as Processing under Me → My giving. When it is approved you get a notification and the receipt appears there.
What if I typed the wrong amount or reference?
The treasurer checks what actually reached the account. They can approve the correct amount or reject the request with a note. If rejected, you get a notification and the reason shows under My giving; send it again with the right details or contact the masjid.
Does Don't show my name hide me from the masjid?
No. The masjid still sees who paid, because it has to check the payment. It hides your name on public lists, such as a project's donor list.
Can I pay by card?
Not yet. Pay with any UPI app or by bank transfer.
