T
he National Alms Agency (BAZNAS), in cooperation with the Botanical Square Mall in Bogor, West Java, has launched a designated parking area for zakat (alms) payers in the mall, where a BAZNAS outlet is located.
Available throughout Ramadhan, the special parking area aims to make it more convenient for zakat payers to perform their religious duties. The facility, launched on Saturday, is the first of its kind in the world.
The mall is providing two parking slots near the lower ground entrance door. Zakat payers can make use of the facility by showing their BAZNAS membership identification card.
“Currently, special parking spaces have been designated only for women, the elderly, ecologically friendly vehicles and so forth. This time, we have designated parking spaces for zakat payers as a service to them,” BAZNAS deputy Arifin Purwakananta said.
BAZNAS has opened 36 outlets in various public areas such as shopping malls and office buildings.
