The Forms of Sadaqah
Financial Charity
Giving money, food, or clothing to the poor, orphans, and widows. This is the most common form of Sadaqah and is highly emphasized to purify one's wealth and soul.
Non-Financial Charity
The Prophet ﷺ taught that smiling at your brother, speaking a good word, removing a harmful object from the road, or even guiding someone who is lost are all recorded as Sadaqah.
Sadaqah Jariyah
This is "Ongoing Charity". Digging a well, planting a fruit tree, building a mosque, or publishing an Islamic book. Even after you die, you continue to receive rewards as long as people benefit from it.
