How It Works

• Contribution: Just $10 a month (automatically withdrawn).
• Community Support: Donations are pooled together to cover Janaza (funeral) expenses for those in need.
• Transparency: 100% of donations go directly to Janaza services — burial, transportation, and funeral arrangements.
• Blessings (Sadaqah Jariyah): Your contribution continues to benefit you as ongoing charity.

Integrity of Janaza Funds

1. Purpose of Janaza Funds

• The funds are strictly collected for Islamic funeral and burial services.
• They are not to be used for unrelated programs, salaries (unless directly tied to funeral service work), or personal use.
• The primary purpose is to ensure that every Muslim receives a dignified burial, regardless of financial ability.

2. Accountability & Transparency

• Clear Record Keeping: All donations must be recorded (cash, online, or bank transfers) with receipts.
• Separate Bank Account: A dedicated Janaza Fund account prevents misuse or mixing with other funds.
• Audits & Reports: Annual financial reports should be prepared and, ideally, audited by a third party.
• Donor Communication: Donors should be informed about how their contributions are used.

3. Governance & Oversight

• Fund Management Committee: A small, trusted group (e.g., mosque board, funeral committee) should oversee collections and disbursements.
• Dual Authorization: At least two authorized signatories should approve withdrawals to prevent misuse.
• Policies in Writing: Written policies on who qualifies for assistance, how much can be allocated per funeral, and emergency protocols.

4. Preventing Misuse

• No Personal Borrowing: Funds cannot be loaned or borrowed for personal use.
• Emergency Use Only: Money is strictly for funeral-related expenses, not for family debts or unrelated community projects.
• Regular Review: Periodic review of fund flow to ensure compliance with Islamic ethics and legal standards.

5. Building Trust in the Community

• Public Updates: Share summaries (not personal details) of how many funerals were supported each year+ monthly reports as well
• Open-Book Policy: donors/ members may request financial transparency.
• Encourage Recurring Donations: Trustworthy handling increases long-term sustainability through regular donations.
