Interest Cleansing

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.

Cleanse Your Wealth Today — The Right Way

If you’ve received interest income or non-halal profits, don’t let it remain in your account. Purify your wealth by giving it to those in need — ethically, responsibly, and Islamically.

Donate and Purify Your Interest Earnings Now

Note: At MAA, we believe we have a duty to fight injustice at every level, big and small. It’s not enough to give aid to the most vulnerable and marginalised after harm has befallen them; we must stand up for them and empower their voices. To fulfil our collective obligation, MAA may dedicate a portion of your sadaqah donations to this cause to create change and dismantle the forces that harm the most marginalised.
