Key Insight

This dataset details 64 locations in Singapore that collect Zakat, categorized as Mosques, Financial Institutions, and other Organisations.  The majority (57/64) of locations are Mosques, primarily collecting Zakat on wealth year-round and Zakat Fitrah during Ramadan. A few Financial Institutions and Organizations are also listed,  with some showing limitations or specific collection periods. This data provides a comprehensive overview of Zakat collection infrastructure across Singapore, highlighting the central role of Mosques in this religious practice.  The presence of specific remarks for certain collection points suggests potential variations in accessibility and collection methods, which may warrant further investigation for optimal community service.
