Research into charitable giving of British Muslims

Howard Lake | 14 September 2003 | News

The centre for the Study of Islam at the University of Glasgow is to study the philanthropic activities of 12,000 UK Muslims.

With a £64,000 grant from the Ford Foundation, Dr Mona Siddiqui and two researchers will look at Islamic concepts of charitable giving, including ‘zakat’ or alms-giving. Research will include interviews and qustionnaires over the next 12 months.
