I was invited to a podcast studio at the Institute of Knowledge (the views expressed are not theirs) on Zakat this Ramadan. If you are interested in the subject of Zakat (the thing other than Islamic Inheritance) that I have written about extensively, this covered a lot of ground. This is how the podcast hosts broke it down:
