In Islamic jurisprudence, discretionary payments are known as Sadaqah. Sadaqah refers to any voluntary charitable act or donation made with the intention of pleasing Allah and seeking His blessings. The concept of Sadaqah is mentioned in numerous verses of the Quran and is emphasized throughout Islamic teachings.

“And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:195)

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)

There are several types of Sadaqah in Islam, including:
