What is the Differnece between Sadaqah and Zakaat? – Dr Zakir Naik



By Zakir Naik,By definition Zakaat means to purify, to increase, it means goodness, it means blessings and Sadaqa comes from the root word ‘Sidq’ which means sincerity so it is sincerity in faith of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).Zakaat by definition according to Islamic Shariah it is an obligatory charity which every Muslim who owns more than the Nisaab level or surplus wealth, if he has it with him for a years period, he has to give 2.5% on it every year.
As far a Sadaqa in concerned, it is an optional charity. Zakaat is also worship of Allah, obeying the command of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).
Sadaqa is also worship of Allah, it’s obeying Allah but it is voluntary.
The major differences between Zakaat and Sadaqa is that there are certain conditions required for Zakaat
No. 1 it is given on certain goods for example gold, silver, ornaments containing gold or silver, merchandize, it can be business activities, farm produce, cattle and all the categories.
Whereas Sadaqa you don’t have to possess any wealth that you have to give Sadaqa, it can be just given.. Sadqa.
