Sadaqa (English spelling)

Japanese: サダカ(英語表記)sadaqa
Sadaqa (English spelling)
The Arabic word for voluntary charity by Muslims. It is a loanword from the Hebrew sedāqā and originally meant "correctness of faith." It is sometimes used synonymously with the poor tax zakat, so to distinguish it from the latter, sadaqa, which means charity, is sometimes called "voluntary sadaqa" (sadaqa al-tatawwu`).

Japanese:
イスラム教徒の自発的な喜捨をさすアラビア語。ヘブライ語の sedāqāからの借用語で,本来は「信仰の正しさ」を意味する。救貧税のザカートと同義語に用いられることもあるので,これと区別するために喜捨を意味するサダカを「自発のサダカ」 sadaqa al-tatawwu`と呼ぶこともある。
