Zakat is considered an obligatory duty for eligible Muslims who possess wealth above the minimum threshold (nisab) and meet the conditions for Zakat payment. The concept of Zakat is rooted in the principle of social and economic justice, where those who have more wealth are obliged to help those in need. However, there are specific circumstances where certain assets may be exempt from Zakat.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1877\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"8\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1877\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What are the different categories of people eligible to receive Zakat? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1877\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-819cba6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"819cba6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc709fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc709fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The different categories of people eligible to receive Zakat, as mentioned in Islamic teachings, include the following:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Al-Fuqaraa\u2019 (The Poor)<\/strong>: These are individuals who are destitute and have little or no means to support themselves.

The four major schools of Islamic jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi\u2019i, and Hanbali) have different stances on this issue. Let\u2019s explore the general viewpoints:  <\/p><ol><li><strong>Hanafi School<\/strong>: The Hanafi scholars generally hold the view that Zakat cannot be given to one\u2019s close relatives, including parents, children, and spouses. However, it can be given to more distant relatives, such as cousins or in-laws. <\/li><li><strong>Maliki School<\/strong>: According to the Maliki scholars, Zakat cannot be given to one\u2019s parents or grandparents. However, it is permissible to give Zakat to other close relatives, such as children, siblings, and grandchildren. <\/li><li><strong>Shafi\u2019i School<\/strong>: The Shafi\u2019i scholars permit giving Zakat to close relatives, including parents, children, and spouses, provided that they are eligible recipients under the categories of Zakat mentioned in Islamic teachings.<\/li><li><strong>Hanbali School<\/strong>: The Hanbali scholars have a broader view and allow giving Zakat to close relatives, including parents, children, and spouses, as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.<\/li><\/ol><p>It\u2019s important to emphasize that Zakat is meant to be distributed to those who are eligible and in need, regardless of their relationship to the giver. Therefore, if your close relatives meet the criteria of eligible recipients, it would be permissible to give Zakat to them according to the views of the Shafi\u2019i and Hanbali schools. However, if you follow the Hanafi or Maliki school, it would not be permissible to give Zakat to immediate family members like parents, children, and spouses.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1879\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"10\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1879\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> When is Zakat due? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1879\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27f7745 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"27f7745\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9637248 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9637248\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Zakat is due once every lunar (Hijri) year on the same date your wealth first exceeded the Nisab threshold.
