Zakat & Charity
Zakat is an obligatory act of worship on wealth: it purifies and redistributes, and the Qur'an pairs it directly with prayer. Because thresholds, asset types and deductions are matters where scholars differ, this section explains the principles and clearly marks where fiqh schools diverge. It always directs readers to qualified scholars and local authorities for their personal calculation.
- What zakat is, who it applies to, and the famous eight categories of recipients.
- How nisab works and why scholars differ between gold and silver benchmarks.
