Brief facts about sadaqah:
Ṣadaqah in the modern Islamic context has come to signify "voluntary charity". According to the Quran, the word means a voluntary offering, whose amount is at the will of the benefactor. It is similar to zakat, or compulsory giving, one of the five pillars of Islam. It is also a cognate of the Jewish concept tzedakah, a Hebrew word that refers to acts of voluntary giving.
Al-Kaffarah - Al-Kaffarah is a term in Islamic law meaning the expiation of sin, referred to special sanction to compensate for the offense or sin when the particular for violation or unintentional murder is committed.
Alms - Alms are money, food, or other material goods donated to people living in poverty. Providing alms is often considered an act of charity. The act of providing alms is called almsgiving.
Sadaqah Jariyah - In Islam, continuous charity or ongoing charity refers to any act that continues to benefit humanity even after the death of its initiator. In other words, whoever leaves a beneficial legacy for humanity continues to be rewarded for it even after their passing.
Khums - In Islam, khums refers to the required religious obligation of any Muslims to pay 20% of their acquired wealth from certain sources toward specified causes. It is treated differently in Shia and Sunni Islam.
Tzedakah - Tzedakah is a Hebrew word meaning "righteousness", but commonly used to signify charity. This concept of "charity" differs from the modern Western understanding of "charity".
Zakat - Zakāh is a form of almsgiving, often collected by the Muslim Ummah. It is considered in Islam as a religious obligation, and by Quranic ranking, is next after prayer in importance. Eight heads of zakat are mentioned in the Quran.
