Zakat Delivered Locally in Aberdeen

AMIC has partnered with the National Zakat Foundation to ensure that zakat raised within our community supports people locally. Through this partnership, AMIC will raise zakat funds, while NZF will carry out eligibility assessments and distribute funds directly to approved recipients in Aberdeen. This combines local fundraising with a trusted, established assessment and distribution process, helping ensure zakat reaches those who are entitled to it.
