Support Policy

Last updated: April 2026. Usul Learning is a free Islamic education initiative. All educational content (books, articles, and resources) is provided at no charge and will remain so. This policy governs voluntary financial contributions made to support this work.

1. Nature of Contributions

Any financial contribution made to Usul Learning is entirely voluntary. It is not a payment for goods or services, and it does not entitle the contributor to any exclusive content, special access, refund, or commercial benefit of any kind. Usul Learning remains an independent initiative; contributions do not create any contractual relationship, partnership, or shareholding.

2. Who May Contribute

Indian contributors: At this stage, support can only be accepted from residents of India through the UPI details provided on our Support page.

International contributors (Important Notice): Usul Learning is a private individual micro-enterprise and is not registered under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA). If you are outside India, please do not contribute.

3. How Contributions Are Used

Voluntary support is intended to help with preparation, hosting, maintenance, review, and development costs for Usul Learning materials, including:

• The continued preparation of learning materials and future volumes
• Operational costs of the website and publishing tools
• The expansion of free Islamic learning materials

4. Accidental or Mistaken Transfers

If you have made a transfer in error, for example, to the wrong recipient or in the wrong amount, please contact us immediately at contact@usullearning.com with details of the transaction. We will review all such cases in good faith and endeavour to assist wherever reasonably possible, though we cannot guarantee recovery of funds transferred to a third-party payment system.

5. No Refund Policy

Because contributions are voluntary and not commercial transactions, they are generally non-refundable. If you have a specific concern about a contribution, please contact us and we will consider your situation on a case-by-case basis.

6. Transparency and Accountability

We are committed to using voluntary contributions responsibly and in a manner consistent with the mission of providing clear, free Islamic learning materials.

7. Tax and Legal Classification

Usul Learning is registered as a Micro Enterprise in India (Udyam Registration No: UDYAM-KL-05-0038423). It is not a registered charitable trust, NGO, or non-profit under the Income Tax Act, 1961 or any other statute. Accordingly:

• Please do not treat contributions as Zakat or as charity contributions
• Contributions are not tax-deductible under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act or any equivalent provision
• Contributions are not eligible for CSR classification under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013
