Zakat at Habib University reflects a deep commitment to Islamic philanthropy, reviving a tradition that once built institutions, advanced knowledge, and shaped societies through education.

Our zakat processes are fully Shariah-compliant, certified by a Shariah advisor from Jamia Darul -Uloom Karachi. We maintain separate accounts for zakat, ensure regular disbursement, and conduct audits for transparency and peace of mind.
Students self-nominate for zakat scholarships through a signed declaration. We also consult regularly with scholars to ensure Islamic compliance. Zakat donations to the Habib University Foundation are eligible for tax credit under Section 61 of the Income Tax Ordinance, making it one of the most secure and impactful ways to support higher education through zakat.
A big facet of our society cannot afford to access higher education, in this context, universities like Habib are creating opportunities for such people. Education is not a luxury; it is a necessity. A nation’s future is dependent on education. For providing such services, donation in the form of Zakat, Sadaqah is eligible.
