User reviews

Doesn’t register

Salam,

I am sorry have to report the prb here. Couldn’t find any Hell or Faq. I am trying registering as a new user through facebook/twitter but it is an unending loop going between the login screen of zakatify and continue/authorize screens of fb/twitter.
Am I doing something wrong?

Response from developer

Version 2.0.8 fixes this issue, please update your app (and thank you for reporting it, would appreciate an upgrade to 5 stars!)

You don’t belong in one of 8 categories

In one of the responses, the developer of this app justifies that they can take the 5% cut on donation. Does the rest of the 95% go to the needy? Of course not. The organization that you are donating to has its own expenses. That organization that has direct connection to the needy is eligible to take part of your donation for operational purposes. They belong to that one of 8 categories, you don’t.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and for giving Zakatify a try! We certainly value your opinion. Zakat collectors are indeed one of the eight categories of zakat-eligibility set forth in the Qur’an. See Chapter 9, Verse 60. There is no additional obligation that the zakat collector also be a zakat distributor. That said, our vetting of zakat-eligible charities and zakat and tax reporting certainly involve Zakatify in that process as well. Rest assured, we have verified our interpretation with multiple Islamic scholars and have never had it questioned. Have a blessed rest of the month of Ramadan.

I love the fact that I am engaged in the process of where my obligatory contributions go.

That I can support so many organisations is a huge positive and new way of feeling really good about doing the right thing.

First of its kind

Excellent app - this will be my main avenue to donate going forwards
