As the first Muslim charity to accept Bitcoin, we are ahead of the curve. We hope through such an innovative currency as Bitcoin that we can open up new avenues for people to support HHUGS and reach new donors and supporters.

From our observation of future trends, it seems likely that we will receive digital currency as a donation at some point and we want to be prepared for that eventuality.

Yes HHUGS accepts zakah. You can read more about how we utilize zakah.

If you are making a zakah donation, you will have to notify us so we can ensure that the funds are allocated to zakah eligible beneficiaries and projects. This can be done by sending us an email to [email protected] with the amount donated.

Bitcoin works in the same way as a cash donation in that anyone can send to us without providing their details. While bitcoin donations are anonymous, we encourage donors to notify us of when they have made a donation so that we can keep a record and contact you in future, with your permission. This can be done by:

Phone: 0207 733 2104

Text/WhatsApp: 07931 833 980

E-Mail: [email protected]

We have reviewed our safeguards to properly monitor donations, however we receive them. Should we receive an individual anonymous donation that is considered unusually large, we will notify the Charity Commission as per our Suspicious Donations policy.

We have also reviewed our policy regarding any requests for significant refunds. Bitcoin payments are irreversible by the sender, so any refund would need to be made by request to HHUGS in writing and could be assessed at that point.
