Scenario

When religious institutions control charitable giving choices

I want to give my zakat to Palestinian relief but my mosque says it has to go through 'approved channels' that I don't trust, and I'm tired of my charity being policed.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The bureaucratization of compassion conflicts with personal moral conviction and urgent humanitarian need.
