The investigation is examining trustees’ due diligence and how funds were used, while counter-terror policing joins the Charity Commission in assessing the charity’s activities.

Prosecutors charge that Hasna conspired to provide material support and financing of terrorism, with each count carrying up to 20 years in prison, and that he worked with the Al-Khair Foundation’s partners to deliver aid in Gaza.

U.S. prosecutors allege Hasna, who is not an employee of Al-Khair but a collaborator with a global partner, held a senior role coordinating with Hamas leadership to deliver funds and supplies to Gaza under a humanitarian cover.

US authorities coordinate with UK counterparts as Hasna faces charges of coordinating with Hamas and transporting funds and supplies through a sham charity, with extradition proceedings ongoing.

Al-Khair Foundation says it is cooperating fully, has previously filed a serious incident report, and highlights its humanitarian work, including aid to Gaza and support for vulnerable communities worldwide.

Al-Khair reported income of over £74 million for the year ending July 31, 2025, and is under a legal order restricting certain financial transactions without the Charity Commission’s consent as the inquiry unfolds.

Al-Khair Foundation reiterates its commitment to Gaza aid, listing services such as food parcels, medical aid, shelter materials, water, and support for orphans and families.

The Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry into the Al-Khair Foundation, a Croydon-based Muslim aid NGO, amid allegations of links to Hamas, with a complaint suggesting connections to Hamas and possible funding of the proscribed organisation.

Mohammad Yousef Hasna, a Turkish national linked to the organization, was arrested in the UK on suspicion of conspiring to funnel money and supplies to Hamas and faces extradition to the United States.

As part of the inquiry, two search warrants were executed at Croydon addresses by Counter Terror Policing London and the Charity Commission.
