Surah At-Tawbah (9:60) provides a crucial framework within Islamic jurisprudence by explicitly outlining the categories of individuals who are eligible to receive Zakat. This verse serves as a foundational guide for the distribution of this obligatory act of charity.
The beneficiaries of zakat detailed in this verse typically include the poor and needy, those employed to collect Zakat, those whose hearts are to be reconciled (new Muslims or those inclined towards Islam), those in bondage, those in debt, in the cause of Allah, and the wayfarer.
This clear enumeration ensures that Zakat funds are directed towards those who are most deserving and in accordance with the divine guidelines, highlighting the social and economic justice inherent in this pillar of Islam.
