Zakat Affairs Department Makes National Authentication System Mandatory for Assistance Applications

The Zakat Affairs Department at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs announced that the National Authentication System (Tawtheeq) has become a mandatory requirement for submitting and tracking zakat assistance applications electronically. The step aims to enhance the reliability of beneficiary data, streamline access to services and accelerate transaction processing within a secure digital system.

Abdullah Saeed Al Marri, Head of the Zakat Disbursement Section, explained that the step forms part of the Department’s efforts to develop its services, enhance the beneficiary experience and use modern digital solutions for identity verification and data protection.

Al Marri said use of the system is now mandatory for completing application procedures and tracking requests through the Department’s website at www.zakat.gov.qa. This will help ensure data accuracy, reduce errors and save beneficiaries and employees time and effort.

He affirmed that expanding electronic procedures aligns with the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs Strategy 2025–2030 and Qatar National Vision 2030. Both focus on achieving sustainable social solidarity, completing the digital transformation of services and developing an advanced technological environment that enhances institutional efficiency and ensures zakat funds reach eligible recipients in accordance with Sharia guidelines.
