Which eight type of people are eligible to receive Zakat?

The Holy Qur’an (9:60) specifies eight categories for the distribution of Zakat:

  • The poor
  • The needy
  • Zakat collectors
  • Those who have converted to Islam and are in need
  • Those in slavery
  • Those in debt
  • In the way of Allah
  • The traveller

  

“The alms are meant only for the poor and the needy and those who are in charge thereof, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free those in bondage, and to help those burdened with debt, and for expenditure in the Way of Allah and for the wayfarer. This is an obligation from Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

(Qur’an 9:60)
