Transparent zakāt and sadaqah distribution
Evaluates the organization's transparent systems for zakāt and sadaqah management. Upholding this sacred trust (amānah) is vital for institutional excellence, building donor confidence and ensuring that aid is distributed with integrity and accountability to verified recipients. The system must ensure zakat is allocated only to the Qur’anic asnāf (9:60) with a defined ‘āmil policy, and that sadaqah is treated as restricted where donor-imposed purposes apply under SORP fund accounting.
