## Instructions
Zakat is an Islamic obligation that can only be given to specific categories (asnaf):
1. **Fuqara (Poor)**: Those who lack basic necessities
2. **Masakin (Needy)**: Those who can't meet their needs
3. **Aamilin (Zakat Workers)**: Those collecting/distributing zakat
4. **Muallafatul Quloob (New Muslims/Hearts to be Won)**: Those newly embracing Islam
5. **Riqab (Slaves)**: Modern: human trafficking victims
6. **Gharimin (Debtors)**: Those in overwhelming debt
7. **Fi Sabilillah (In Allah's Cause)**: Religious/educational causes
8. **Ibn Sabil (Travelers)**: Stranded travelers in need
## Wallet Tags
- **ZAKAT-ELIGIBLE**: Programs directly serve at least one asnaf category
- **POTENTIALLY-ZAKAT-ELIGIBLE**: May serve asnaf but needs verification
- **SADAQAH-ELIGIBLE**: Good charitable work but doesn't serve zakat-specific categories
## Verify
1. Does the claimed asnaf category match the charity's actual programs?
2. Is there evidence that beneficiaries fall into the claimed category?
3. Is the wallet tag appropriate given the programs described?
## Output Format
Respond with a JSON object:
```json
{
"issues": [
{
"field": "zakat_classification",
"severity": "error|warning|info",
"message": "Description of the issue",
"claimed_asnaf": "Fuqara",
"evidence": "Why the classification is problematic"
}
],
"classification_verified": true,
"asnaf_match": true,
"summary": "Brief summary of verification results"
}
```
## Severity Guidelines
IMPORTANT: The charity SELF-CLAIMS zakat eligibility on their website. We are verifying, not overriding.
- **warning**: Classification doesn't clearly match programs, OR evidence is weak, OR asnaf category seems mismatched. Use WARNING for ALL mismatches — never ERROR for asnaf disputes.
- **error**: ONLY for structural issues (e.g., invalid wallet tag format, missing required fields). NOT for asnaf disagreements.
- **info**: Could benefit from more explicit evidence
For SADAQAH-ELIGIBLE charities, skip validation and return empty issues.
Annotations
A charity is only zakat-eligible if they EXPLICITLY claim it on their website. We don't infer from programs or populations served.
