*There is no lower or higher limit of Sadaqah, and neither does it have any requirement. Sadaqah can be categorised into two categories based on its time span; namely, Sadaqah, which is considered a short-term donation
*Another financial term from the Islamic world worth noting is Nishab. The term Nishab refers to the minimum threshold of income required for an individual to be eligible to pay Zakat.
*However, in countries like Yemen, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Zakat is still regarded as a compulsory tax. Individuals have to face legal punishment upon failing to pay Zakat.
