Purification

Income purification

Disposing of any incidental non-compliant income to charity, so the investor takes no benefit from it.

Where a small amount of impermissible income arises incidentally, purification is the practice of calculating that portion and giving it away to charity, so the investor derives no benefit from it.

Purification is not zakat or general charity (sadaqah) — it is specifically the disposal of non-compliant income. Whether it applies depends on the nature of the underlying venture.
