Who are the recipients of Zakat?
Zakat is paid to deserving individuals who fall into one or more of the following eight categories:
- The poor
- The needy
- Those employed to administer Zakat
- Those whose hearts are to be reconciled
- Those in slavery
- Those in debt
- In the way of Allah
- The destitute traveller
This is determined by the following verse in the Quran:
Indeed, [prescribed] charitable offerings are only [to be given] to the poor and the indigent, and to those who work on [administering] it, and to those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to [free] those in bondage, and to the debt-ridden, and for the cause of God, and to the wayfarer. [This is] an obligation from God. And God is all-knowing, all-wise. – Al-Tawbah, 9:60
