Doha, Qatar: The Zakat Affairs Department at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has announced the completion of its operational and technical preparations to receive zakat payments during the holy month of Ramadan 2026. 

The department confirmed that it has activated a comprehensive collection system combining advanced digital platforms with field-based collection points, ensuring the highest standards of security and reliability under its Ramadan campaign.
