It was stated in Resolution No. 7/2010 that was issued by the Council of Fatwa, Research and Islamic Studies which states that "Educating those in need is considered as an ongoing sadaqa, which would benefit the nation; additionally spending Al-Zakaah is specified in the holy Quran, where it explains that Al-Zakaah can be given to poor orphans if they are Muslims and poor”.

For those who would like to donate, they are encouraged to call Donation Hotline 065330500, whereby a representative from Al-Aman fund reaches the donors wherever they are located once they call the number.
