Sana'a - Saba:
The General Authority of Zakat Office in the Capital Sana'a has launched a Zakat awareness campaign in the As-Sab'een District as part of ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the importance of Zakat and its role in achieving social solidarity.
The campaign coincides with the charity projects implemented by the General Authority of Zakat, which aim to educate merchants and shop owners about the importance of Zakat and the necessity of adhering to it. They also aim to develop guidelines that simplify the concepts of this obligation and clarify its legal disbursements.
During the launch, Mohammed al-Olofi, Director of the General Authority of Zakat Office in the Capital Sana'a, explained that the campaign targets shops in various districts of the Capital Sana'a, where field visits will be conducted to distribute awareness materials and provide the necessary guidance.
He pointed out the importance of this Zakat awareness campaign during the holy month of Ramadan, which is a golden opportunity to reinforce values and consolidate the meaning of this religious obligation.
Al-Olofi called on all merchants and businessmen to take the initiative to pay their Zakat, emphasizing that they are essential partners in delivering Zakat to those who are entitled to it, the poor and needy, according to the eight categories specified by Islamic law.
