Doha:The Zakat Affairs Department at the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs has mandated the use of the National Authentication Portal for submitting and tracking Zakat assistance applications electronically via the Department’s official website. This move is aimed at improving the reliability of beneficiary data, ensuring secure identity verification, streamlining procedures, and accelerating the processing of applications.

According to Hukoomi, Abdullah Saeed Al-Marri, Head of the Zakat Disbursement Section, stated that this initiative is part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to develop its electronic services. The goal is to enhance the beneficiary experience by ensuring data accuracy, reducing errors, and saving both time and effort.

The initiative is also in line with the Ministry’s Strategy (2025-2030) and Qatar National Vision 2030. These frameworks aim to promote sustainable social solidarity, achieve digital transformation, enhance service efficiency, and ensure that Zakat funds are distributed to eligible recipients in accordance with Shariah-compliant guidelines.
