Giving back to your community is just as important as fasting during Ramadan. The holy month is a time for reflection and philanthropy. It reminds Muslims of the less fortunate and the importance of giving Sadaqah to those in need throughout the year.
Sadaqah is a voluntary charitable act that can be done in many ways. As long as you helped in some way, it counts. There are no rules or restrictions. You could visit the sick, donate, or give advice to a brother/sister about enrolling for a course at your university.
