The Refugee Zakat Fund is fully compliant and backed by several fatwas from leading scholars and institutions.
It is permissible to give Zakat to USA for UNHCR for distribution to refugees and other families displaced by war and persecution. In such a case, UNHCR is considered an agent. The entirety of the collected Zakat will be distributed to recipients mentioned in Quran 9:60. None of it will be used to cover operations or wages; those are covered by other sources.

USA for UNHCR’s Refugee Zakat Fund is subject to rigorous governance, ensuring transparency at every step, from donation to provision of assistance.
USA for UNHCR is pledging that 100% of Zakat funds go directly to refugees in need, including those in hard-to-reach areas. Through the Refugee Zakat Fund, your support for refugees facing hardship is felt immediately by those most in need. The Refugee Zakat Fund follows a 100% distribution Zakat policy. Any expenses associated with the distribution of Zakat funds are covered by other (non-Zakat) sources of funding to UNHCR.
USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is responding to a global refugee crisis unlike anything we’ve seen before. Millions of families from Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and all over the world are fleeing their homes to escape conflict and violence.
Your generous donation is tax-deductible and will help make an immediate impact – and rush lifesaving supplies like tents, clean water and other critical aid – to those who need it most.
Refugees have lost everything and are facing the most difficult of circumstances just to meet their basic needs and protect their families. But your compassion can bring much-needed relief, comfort and hope to resilient displaced families and tell them they are not alone.
