Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a widely practiced religious observance rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's article on alms, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for its comparative survey of almsgiving occasions across Islam's annual zakat and voluntary sadaqah, Jewish tzedakah, the Christian offertory, and Theravada daily versus Japanese weekly or monthly takuhatsu collection, and for its note on pre-packaged alms kits and Hindu satrams (dharamsalas) as modern institutional forms, standard reference facts.
