Ikhlas Com Travel & Umrah Sdn Bhd (ikhlas.com) recently entered two agreements with TheNoor and Touch ’n Go as a way of broadening access to fidyah payments.
The collaboration was announced during the Amanah Fidyah: Sekampit Beras, Seribu Makna fidyah distribution at the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council Hall (MPAJ), Kampung Ampang Indah.
The programme involved the distribution of fidyah rice to 200 asnaf households in the Lembah Jaya area, demonstrating how expanded digital payment access can translate into tangible community impact.
Furthermore, this initiative reflects how collaborative partnerships across digital platforms can help simplify the fulfilment of Islamic obligations by expanding access while supporting responsible implementation on the ground.
Bringing pious acts into the 21st century
Through these partnerships, Asian Muslims, particularly those in Malaysia, will be able to fulfil their obligations through extensively-used digital platforms.
According to ikhlas.com Ikhlas Kamarudin said: “Our focus is on making the fulfilment of religious obligations more accessible, without adding complexity for users. By working with multiple digital platforms, we are able to widen reach and convenience, while ensuring that fidyah contributions are managed and distributed in an organised, transparent and responsible manner.”
TheNoor CEO Noor Neelofa added: “TheNoor is a digital Islamic lifestyle platform that integrates worship, knowledge and social impact into one seamless ecosystem. From prayer times and Al-Quran features to zakat and charitable giving, TheNoor aims to simplify daily ibadah through technology. TheNoor is also preparing to introduce TheNoor Pro, an enhanced experience designed to provide deeper spiritual engagement and premium digital Islamic services.”
How the system works
Muslims can now make fidyah payments via TheNoor or Touch ’n Go as additional payment channels while ikhlas.com functions as a facilitating platform, supporting the organised management and distribution of fidyah contributions in line with shariah principles and responsible welfare practices.
Payments made through the respective platforms are channelled through ikhlas.com’s fidyah programme, where contributions are documented and implemented through planned distribution activities, with appropriate reporting mechanisms in place to support transparency and accountability.
Through its role as a facilitating platform, ikhlas.com continues to support the use of technology to enable worship and social good, while fostering public confidence in digital Islamic welfare initiatives.
