  • People who are sympathetic to Islam or wish to enter Islam and are needy.
  • To free a person from slavery.
  • Those in debt and unable to pay it off.

Zakat

What is Zakat

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is obligated amongst all Muslims wealthy enough to pay it. If you are a Muslim, sane adult and you own the minimum amount of Nisab required for one whole year then you must pay Zakat.

Zakat must be paid on gold, silver, merchandise for owned businesses, cash in bank account, cattle and crops. You must pay Zakat on these items if they have been in your possession for a year. You do not have to pay it on personal items which do not bring you wealth E.G your car, clothes, shelter or food.

Many Muslims choose to pay their Zakat during the holy month of Ramadan, when blessings are multiplied, but you can pay it at any time of the year.
