| WHO ARE THOSE ELIGIBLE FOR
CHARITY?

As-Sadaqāt (here it means Zakāt) are only for the Fuqarā'[]
(poor), and Al-Masākin[] (the poor)
and those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts
of those who have been inclined (towards Islām); and to free the
captives; and for those in debt; and for Allāh's Cause (i.e. for Mujāhidūn
- those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller
who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allāh. And Allāh is
All-Knower, All-Wise. (9:60)
