Lucinda Rouse and Dami Adewale are joined by Sohail Hanif, chief executive of the National Zakat Foundation, and Taqwa Sadiq, presenter and producer of the BBC audio series Sacred Money.
Taqwa explains how an individual’s choice of destination for their annual zakat donation can be influenced by the emotions surrounding their sense of belonging and home.
Sohail describes the role of the National Zakat Foundation in collecting and distributing zakat among communities in the UK, with donations rising in response to increasing levels of domestic poverty.
He suggests opportunities for collaboration with non-Muslim charities and stresses the need to encourage grassroots community support initiatives.
