Terms of applying:
Whilst we aim to support many sisters across all backgrounds and financial status this is currently limited to how much funds are able to be raised, therefore we would like to generate funds initially for sisters who meet the criteria and if we have further stock and products to allocate to sisters in need.
The products we will initially be prioritising are Khimars and Niqabs, and Jilbabs on a case-by-case basis.
In the application we will be asking a select range of information to understand the precise needs of applicants as well as their financial status to allow us to allocate items to those who are most in need, for some groups of people in specific situations savings are not considered due to the nature of the case.
We would like to remind sisters that this is not a free hijab project but a project to address the needs of the community, misuse of this will result in you being barred from accessing this in the future and you will be accountable before Allah.
