Cleanse Your Wealth with MAA
In today’s financial system, even the most careful Muslims may unintentionally earn interest (riba) through savings accounts, superannuation, or investment returns. Islam prohibits riba — but what should you do when interest income lands in your account?
At Muslim Aid Australia (MAA), we provide a responsible, Shariah-compliant way to help you cleanse your interest earnings and purify your wealth.
What Does Islam Say About Interest?
According to Islamic teachings, riba (interest) is not halal and must be removed from your wealth. You should not benefit from it — but you can dispose of it through ethical means by donating it to charity, with no expectation of reward.
MAA’s Trusted Process for Disposing of Interest Money
MAA has developed a transparent and responsible method for you to:
- Remove non-halal income such as interest from your finances
- Donate it to general charity (not used for masjids, Qur’ans, or dawah)
- Purify your remaining wealth so that it becomes halal to use
Our team ensures your donation is used for non-religious, humanitarian purposes only, in line with Shariah guidelines for purifying haram income.
What Types of Income Can Be Cleansed?
You can donate to MAA to cleanse:
- Bank interest from savings or fixed deposits
- Investment earnings that involve impermissible elements
- Unintentional riba collected over time
We direct these funds towards neutral, beneficial community projects like water wells, emergency aid, or medical relief — ensuring the money is used for good, but without the intention of spiritual reward.
How to Donate Your Interest Money
Simply visit our Interest Purification Page and select “Interest Purification” at checkout. MAA will handle your donation in line with Islamic principles of wealth cleansing.
Remember, this isn’t like regular sadaqah or zakat — it’s an act of financial responsibility, not worship. But it protects your halal income and frees you from any benefit of riba.
