Zakat collection and allocation in Iran

Overview

In Iran, officials have begun outlining the economic potential and implementation of Zakat funds. The Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation estimated that the mandatory Zakat capacity for four major grain types is at least 10 trillion tomans, noting that including products such as dates could significantly increase this figure. Proposals have been made to use these resources for interest-free loans and entrepreneurship projects to support needy families.

In Isfahan, the Zakat Council reported collecting 114 billion tomans in obligatory, recommended, and Fitriyah zakat during the first six months of the year, marking a 12 percent increase over the previous year. These funds are being directed toward public interest projects, including the restoration of traditional qanats and various rural infrastructure developments.
