## Faith framing

The Amir Khan Foundation is a faith-aware humanitarian charity, supported predominantly by Muslim donors. Our programmes are eligible for Zakat (obligatory annual alms), Sadaqah (voluntary charity) and Sadaqah Jariyyah (continuous charity that earns reward over time). Zakat-eligibility is verified for each programme against the eight recipient categories defined in Surah At-Tawbah (9:60). Zakat donations reach eligible recipients only; the foundation covers its delivery and oversight costs separately, capped at 10%.
