Summary:

This book presents an in-depth analysis of the intersection between Islamic wealth taxation (zakat), human rights, and the Kenyan legal framework in the context of financing public health. It explores how zakat, an obligatory form of almsgiving in Islam, can be utilized to meet health budget constraints in Kenya, aligning with the country's constitutional and human rights obligations. The author examines the potential and challenges of integrating Islamic law with the Kenyan legal system to enhance public health funding, providing insights into socio-legal scholarship and the practical implications of such integration.
