Who should be getting Zakat?
The Qur’an tells us eight groups of people who should be given Zakat:
“Indeed, Zakat expenditures are only for
[1] the poor and
[2] the needy, and
[3] to those who work on [administering] it, and
[4] for bringing hearts together, and
[5] to [free] those in bondage, and
[6] for those in debt, and [7] for the cause of God, and
[8] for the stranded traveller. [This is] an
obligation from God. God is All-Knowing,
All-Wise.”
(Qur’an, Chapter 9, Verse 60)
