specified by the Holy Book through a mechanism that guarantees
the safety of distribution and improving the method of selecting
the community-based Zakat distribution committees at the level of
neighborhoods, villages and furqan. The non-interference of the
state, political leaders and those with influence in the distribution
process and preventing the disbursement of zakat money in other
than its specified and designated banks.
