Among its key recommendations, the Council emphasised the importance of diversifying the
mechanisms for distributing Zakat funds. It proposed adopting innovative, non-traditional methods
such as training zakat recipients who are able to work, equipping them with necessary skills, and
providing them with suitable job opportunities, particularly through support for small and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs).

The Council also called for the standardisation of waqf procedures and criteria, especially
regarding mosque construction nationwide, to enhance the management and long-term
sustainability of the endowment system. It also recommended creating a comprehensive
geographic map for the distribution of Waqf resources and expanding investment domains for
endowments in order to secure their sustainability and contribute to social development and family
stability.
