Question 1

Can I order Sadaqah from New York State?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sadaqah is performed entirely in Egypt on your behalf — there is nothing to ship to or from New York State. You order online from New York State, we sacrifice in Cairo within 24 hours of payment confirmation, and you receive video proof within 48 hours.

Question 2

Are there other New York State-based donors using Amanah?

Accepted Answer

Yes — New York State is one of our active donor communities in the United States. Most learn about us by word of mouth from people who have seen the proof video and shared it with family.

Question 3

Do I need to find a mosque in New York State to do this through?

Accepted Answer

No. You don't need any intermediary in New York State. The order is direct from you to Amanah Charity, the sacrifice is in Egypt, and the proof goes straight to your email and WhatsApp.

Question 4

Can I perform Sadaqah from the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scholars across all four Sunni schools agree that Sadaqah can be performed in any country on your behalf, provided the slaughter is halal and the meat is distributed to those in need. Amanah handles the entire process in Egypt and confirms it to you with video.

Question 5

How do I know the sacrifice was actually done?

Accepted Answer

Within 48 hours of your order we send you a short video of your specific animal at the moment of slaughter, photos of the meat being packed, and a record of the families in Cairo who received it. Your name or your child's name is on the file.

Question 6

Is the meat distributed halal and Islamically valid?

Accepted Answer

The animal is bought from a verified livestock market, healthy, of correct age, and slaughtered by a qualified Muslim slaughterman facing the qiblah with the takbeer recited. Meat is distributed the same day to orphans and widows in Cairo — never sold, never frozen long-term.

Question 7

How long does delivery of proof take?

Accepted Answer

48 hours from confirmed payment. You receive everything by email and, if you provide your number, by WhatsApp. Donors in New York typically see proof the morning after their order.

Question 8

Can I pay in USD?

Accepted Answer

Checkout is in USD for accounting transparency, but your card issuer billed directly in USD. Most American cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) work without extra fees.

Question 9

Is Sadaqah valid if performed abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Prophet ﷺ himself performed and instructed sacrifice without geographic restriction. What matters is the niyyah (intention) and that the act is halal — both are guaranteed by Amanah's process.

Question 10

Is this regular Sadaqah or Sadaqah Jariyah?

Accepted Answer

A one-off animal sacrifice is regular Sadaqah — its reward is immediate. If you want recurring Sadaqah, you can schedule a monthly small sheep or goat in your name or for a deceased relative.

Question 11

Can I dedicate the Sadaqah to someone who has passed away?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add their name at checkout and we will include it in the slaughter dedication. The reward, in shaa Allah, reaches them.

Question 12

Where in the United States do you ship the meat?

Accepted Answer

Nowhere — the meat stays in Egypt, where the need is greatest. You stay in the United States and receive the proof. This is the core of how Amanah works: your money buys food for an orphan in Cairo, not a courier flight across continents.
