Assalam o Alaikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you all are well. I am from Pakistan but I live in Australia and my question is around paying Sadaqah. According to my knowledge, giving Sadaqah is one of the various ways to please Allah and Sadaqah is normally given to poor who do not have basic necessities of life for themselves or their families.

Finding such type of people in need is almost impossible in Australia. Therefore, I normally give Sadaqah online to Edhi or Chhipa or similar charity organisations in Pakistan so that they can help poor people in need. However, I do not feel that close to Allah Suban Wa Tala as I do when I do Qurbani myself or at least see it in front of my eyes in Pakistan. Doing Qurbani yourself or seeing it in front of your eyes is also next to impossible in Australia.

Can any of the brothers and sisters share their knowledge about whether giving Sadaqah money online is same as giving it with your hands to a poor / doing Qurbani yourself? I'd like to feel myself closer to Allah Suban Wa tala when giving Sadaqah. Paying it online feels more like a formality.

Jazak Allah Khair.

Muhammad.

Salam/peace
In my humble opinion in the eyes of Allah is exactly the same.
The most important thing is the intention (niyah), not the way to give it, but how the feeling of your heart when youi give it.
Give directly with your hand to the poor, emotionally it has more touching, but the result will be the same.
Salam/Peace,

Semar
