Improving Livelihood at Household Level with Zakat Based Conscious Financing

This paper explores spending zakat to support the financial improvement of women from low-or no-income households. It assesses the feasibility of remitting zakat over the m-pesa platform. M-pesa is a Kenyan mobile banking app that allows subscribers to send and receive money through their mobile phones without the use of the internet. The theory underpinning the paper’s analysis on the use of zakat to support the economic improvement of women is based on tax justice and social extraction.
