Kami masih menerima sumbangan zakat dan derma, walaupun sudah mencapai sasaran, demi membantu seramai mungkin pekerja asing berserta keluarga mereka.

Campaign Information

The 9th year of #SGMuslims 4MigrantWorkers!

This year, we aim to raise at least $70,000 for Migrant Mutual Aid (MMA) inshaAllah:

FIRST $50,000 OF YOUR ZAKAT GOES TO:

Fund for Bereaved Families (FBF)

Dedicated MMA fund for bereaved families of Muslim migrant workers

Provides basic financial support so families have time to grieve and establish new sources of income to sustain themselves.

No other organisation runs a fund of this kind.

Standing Solidarity Fund (SSF)

Emergency MMA fund to finance urgent cases

Most commonly supports urgent medical needs, where high costs and critical timing makes fundraising infeasible.

Also covers emergencies like abrupt repatriation due to illness/injury, and support to escape abusive employers, etc.

$20,000 (AND ALL FURTHER FUNDS) WILL GO TO:

CritiCare Fund for Migrant Workers (CCF)

Specialised fund for outpatient treatment costs for migrant workers with critical illnesses

Ground-up initiative launched in December 2024.

First fund dedicated to workers with critical illnesses.

Disbursement decisions made by an independent Council comprising doctors, insurance professionals, employment agents and civil society reps.

MMA is a Council Member.

Zakat Eligibility and Endorsements

Muslim migrant workers and their families fall within not only one but several categories of beneficiaries (asnaf) eligible to receive zakat.

They are among those:
• poor (al-fuqarâ) or needy (al-masâkîn) (depending on their individual situation)
• trapped in debt (al-gharimin)
• Migrant workers are also wayfarers in a foreign land (ibnussabil)

"They can accept zakat. They are confirmed from Ibnu Sabil (travellers), Miskin (poor), or Gharimin (in debt).

These migrant workers are like our guests who spend their time in our homeland not to visit but to work and help us build this blessed nation. We should extend our compassion and generosity to them when they are in need."

Ustaz Muhammad Mazdiuky

“Please help the migrant workers who are part of our society. Your zakat or donations will potentially help save the lives of and lighten the burden of our brothers with serious injuries or illnesses, and who are in financial distress together with their parents, wives and children who are counting on them.

Please consider giving your zakat to our Muslim migrant workers and read through the campaign to understand more about their plight.”

Ustazah Nadia Hanim

“Muslim migrant workers are eligible for zakat, falling into not one but a few categories of asnaf. It's not only about fulfilling our zakat obligations, but also about demonstrating our commitment to social justice and compassion.

"The Compassionate One has mercy on those who are merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to you." - Abu Dawud (Sahih)”

Ustazah Wan Nadia

"Rasulullah is a rahmah for all. He showed compassion to all. To follow his sunnah is to be a mercy and to have ihsan towards all.

We can show this ihsan by contributing our zakat to the migrant workers who have helped us build our homes and country. Zakat has the transformational potential for justice in society.

May Allah and His Rasul grant ease and patience to all migrant workers and their families in their daily affairs."

Ustaz Dr Muhammad Mubarak

“Let's shine our hearts and extend our hands in spreading love and compassion, giving others hope, in times of their utmost need.

"The ones who are merciful, the Most Merciful will have mercy with them. Have mercy with those on the earth, He who is in (the) heaven will have mercy with you", says our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

This Ramadan, let's support these Muslim migrant workers."

Kelayakan dan Pengesahan Zakat

Pekerja asing Muslim dan keluarga mereka digolongkan kepada bukan hanya satu tetapi beberapa asnaf yang layak menerima zakat.

Mereka adalah antara:
• fakir (al-fuqarâ) atau miskin (al-masâkîn) (bergantung kepada situasi individu itu sendiri)
• dibelenggu hutang (al-gharimin)
• Pekerja asing Muslim juga musafir di negara asing (ibnussabil)

"Mereka boleh menerima zakat. Mereka sah tergolong dalam asnaf 'ibnussabil' (musafir), miskin atau 'gharimin' (dibelenggu hutang).

Pekerja-pekerja asing ini yang bergelar Ibnu Sabil ialah seperti tetamu kita, yang mengahabiskan masa mereka di tanah air kita untuk bekerja dan memakmurkan negara kita.

Kita patut menzahirkan rasa belas ihsan dan kemurahan hati kepada mereka pada masa-masa memerlukan."

Ustaz Muhammad Mazdiuky

“Mohon bantulah golongan pekerja asing yang merupakan sebahagian daripada masyarakat kita. Zakat dan sumbangan anda mungkin boleh menyelamatkan nyawa dan meringankan beban saudara kita yang cedera parah atau berpenyakit serta mereka yang dibelenggu masalah kewangan. Ibu bapa, isteri dan anak bergantung harap pada mereka.

Justeru berilah zakat anda kepada pekerja Muslim asing ini dan bacalah maklumat kempen untuk memahami keadaan yang mereka lalui.”

Ustazah Nadia Hanim

“Pekerja asing beragama Islam layak menerima zakat, malah meliputi beberapa asnaf sekali gus. (Ibadah ini) bukan sahaja merangkumi pelaksanaan kewajipan, bahkan menekankan iltizam kita terhadap usaha menegakkan keadilan sosial serta perasaan belas ihsan.

Ini dijelaskan melalui hadis sahih diriwayatkan daripada Abu Dawud: ‘Orang yang berbuat rahmah akan dirahmati oleh Allah Yang Maha Pengasih. Maka rahmatilah mereka yang ada di bumi, nescaya Allah yang di langit akan merahmati kamu.’."

Ustazah Wan Nadia

"Rasulullah wujud sebagai rahmat buat semua. Baginda menunjukkan belas ihsan kepada segenap isi alam.

Bersandarkan sunnahnya, kita harus menunjukkan rasa belas ihsan terhadap semua. Kita boleh menonjolkan keihsanan dengan memberikan wang zakat kepada pekerja asing yang sudah bersusah-payah membina rumah dan negara ini. Wang zakat memiliki keupayaan menegakkan keadilan dalam masyarakat."

Ustaz Dr Muhammad Mubarak

“Ayuh suntikkan sinar dalam hati kita dan sebarkan kasih sayang serta belas ihsan; berikan harapan tatkala orang lain berada dalam keadaan sangat memerlukan.

Nabi Muhammad (saw) pernah bersabda: 'Mereka yang menunjukkan belas ihsan akan ditunjukkan belas ihsan oleh Yang Maha Belas Ihsan.

Tunjukkanlah sifat belas ihsan kepada mereka di dunia. Dia di syurga akan menunjukkan belas kasihan-Nya kepadamu'."
