Platform III · The Scholars’ Symposium
الزكاة والمصالح العامة وأعمال المناصرة في سياق الأقليات
Zakah, Public Interest, and Advocacy in Minority Contexts.
Our inaugural Symposium convenes scholars across the madhāhib and related disciplines to examine the permissibility of deploying zakāh funds in advocacy-related contexts. Grounded in classical fiqh, uṣūl, and maqāṣid, and informed by contemporary realities, it seeks to establish clear standards where permissible, and principled guidance for Muslim minorities where it is not.
