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
