This document discusses research questions around how income and wealth are allocated and distributed. It examines whether allocation relies on individual country situations or is more universal. The document concludes that the gap between rich and poor is an economic issue and that zakat, a charitable contribution, can significantly impact poverty reduction by distributing resources to the poor and needy in a way that meets basic needs and encourages productivity. It suggests using an allocation system called Had-Kifayah to achieve these goals of distribution.
