All About Zakat

 

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and is wajib (compulsory) on Muslims
who meet all the conditions. The word Zakat itself means to purify,
whereby a fixed proportion collected from a specific type of mal
(wealth) when they reach the haul (specific term) must be distributed
to specific categories of people.



Hence, zakat portrays a beautiful way of life that Islam provides to
mankind in maintaining proper socio-economy of the ummah through
the implementation of zakat.
