Warning Against Fake Fundraising
In his address, Owaisi said some individuals repeatedly seek donations from multiple places, turning charity into a source of income.
He highlighted concerns that:

He cautioned that such trends undermine the spirit of charity.
Impact on Genuine Beneficiaries
Owaisi noted that due to fraudulent or repeated requests, those truly facing hardships may not receive the help they deserve.
He urged donors to:

- Identify real beneficiaries
- Ensure Zakat reaches deserving individuals
