The Saaberie Chishty Society is pleased to announce that the Zakaat Bursary Programme for 2023 is officially open for learners wishing to pursue tertiary studies at any accredited institution within South Africa.
As a non-profit humanitarian organisation it is our duty to invest in the future of our country and this Zakaat Bursary Programme ensures that those learners with potential are not prohibited due to lack of funds.
Requirements
- The Zakaat programme is available to all learners nationally that meet the following requirements:
- * The learner and/or learners family qualifies for Zakaat.
- * The learner has received university acceptance.
- * The learner is without funding for the 2023 academic year
Zakaat Eligibility
- The Shari’ah has identified eight categories of recipients of Zakaat, namely:
- * The poor
- * The needy
- * The administrators of Zakaat
- * The reverts
- * Those in debt
- * Those in bondage
- * Those (striving) in the path of Allah
- * The wayfarer
- The English above give a general sense, rather than a specific intent, of who the Shari’ah intended to benefit through the institution of Zakaat
