Zakat – old

What is Zakat?

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is a compulsory act of worship that requires Muslims to donate a portion of their wealth (typically 2.5%) to those who are eligible to receive it. Zakat requires donations from Muslims with wealth at or above a certain threshold. This threshold is called the Nisab.

Who is eligible to receive 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
