    Zakāh

    salat) in importance.[6]
    Eight heads of zakat are mentioned in the Quran.

    As one of the

    Ridda wars.[11][12][page needed
    ]

    Zakat on wealth is based on the value of all of one's possessions.[13][14] It is customarily 2.5% (or 1⁄40)[15] of a Muslim's total savings and wealth above a minimum amount known as nisab each lunar year,[16] but Islamic scholars differ on how much nisab is and other aspects of zakat.[16] According to Islamic doctrine, the collected amount should be paid to the poor and the needy, Zakat collectors, orphans, widows, those to be freed from slavery, the aged who cannot work to feed themselves, those in debt, in the cause of God and to benefit the stranded traveller.

    Today, in most

    Muslim-majority countries, zakat contributions are voluntary, while in Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen, zakat is mandated and collected by the state (as of 2015).[17][18]

    Sunnis, have traditionally regarded zakat as a private action, and they give zakat to imam-sponsored rather than state-sponsored collectors, but it is also obligatory for them.[19][20][21]

    Etymology

    It came from Arabic root z-k-w (ز ك و), meaning to purify.[22][1] Zakat is considered a way to purify one's income and wealth from sometimes worldly, impure ways of acquisition.[1][23][24][25] According to Sachiko Murata and William Chittick, "Just as ablutions purify the body and salat purifies the soul (in Islam), so zakat purifies possessions and makes them pleasing to God."[26][27]

    Doctrine

    Quran

    The

    suras: 7:156, 9:60, 19:31, 19:55, 21:73, 23:4, 27:3, 30:39, 31:4, and 41:7.[28][29]
    Zakat is found in the early
    Medinan suras and described as obligatory for Muslims.[27] It is given for the sake of salvation. Muslims believe those who give zakat can expect reward from God in the afterlife, while neglecting to give zakat can result in damnation. Zakat is considered part of the covenant between God and a Muslim.[27]

    Verse 2:177 (the Clear Qur'an translation) sums up the Quranic view of charity and almsgiving (another name for zakat is the poor due):

    Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west. Rather, the righteous are those who believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Books, and the prophets; who give charity out of their cherished wealth to relatives, orphans, the poor, ˹needy˺ travellers, beggars, and for freeing captives; who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and keep the pledges they make; and who are patient in times of suffering, adversity, and in ˹the heat of˺ battle. It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of Allah˺. – 2:177

    According to Yusuf al-Qaradawi, verse 9.5 of the Quran makes zakat one of three prerequisites for pagans to become Muslims: "but if they repent, establish prayers, and practice zakat they are your brethren in faith".[7]

    The Quran also lists who should receive the benefits of zakat, discussed in more detail

    below.[30]

    Hadith

    Each of the most trusted

    Sunan Abu-Dawud's Book 9[35][36] discuss various aspects of zakat, including who must pay, how much, when and what. The 2.5% rate is also mentioned in the hadiths.[37]

    The hadiths admonish those who do not give the zakat. According to the hadith, refusal to pay or mockery of those who pay zakat is a sign of

    day of Judgment, those who did not give the zakat will be held accountable and punished.[30]

    The hadith contain advice on the state-authorized collection of the zakat. The collectors are required not to take more than what is due, and those who are paying the zakat are asked not to evade payment. The hadith also warn of punishment for those who take zakat when they are not eligible to receive it (see Distribution below).[30]

    Amount

    Main article: Calculation of Zakāt

    The amount of zakat to be paid by an individual depends on the amount of money and the type of assets the individual possesses. The Quran does not provide specific guidelines on which types of wealth are taxable under the zakat, nor does it specify percentages to be given. However, it clearly indicates to donate the "surplus" of one's income. But the customary practice in the Islamic world has been that the amount of zakat paid on capital assets (e.g. money) is 2.5% (1⁄40).[41] Zakat is additionally payable on agricultural goods, precious metals, minerals, and livestock at a rate varying between 2.5% and 20% (1/5), depending on the type of goods.[42][43]

    Zakat is usually payable on assets continuously owned over one lunar year that are in excess of the nisab, a minimum monetary value.[44] However, Islamic scholars have disagreed on this issue. For example, Abu Hanifa did not regard the nisab limit to be a pre-requisite for zakat, in the case of land crops, fruits and minerals.[45] Other differences between Islamic scholars on zakat and nisab are acknowledged as follows by Yusuf al-Qaradawi,[16]

    Unlike prayers, we observe that even the ratio, the exemption, the kinds of wealth that are zakatable are subject to differences among scholars. Such differences have serious implications for Muslims at large when it comes to their application of the Islamic obligation of zakat. For example, some scholars consider the wealth of children and insane individuals zakatable, others don't. Some scholars consider all agricultural products zakatable, others restrict zakat to specific kinds only. Some consider debts zakatable, others don't. Similar differences exist for business assets and women's jewelry. Some require certain minimum (nisab) for zakatability, some don't. etc. The same kind of differences also exist about the disbursement of zakat.
     – Shiekh Mahmud Shaltut[16]

    Failure to pay

    Zaouia Moulay Idriss II in Fez, Morocco[46]

    The consequence of failure to pay zakat has been a subject of extensive legal debate in traditional Islamic jurisprudence, particularly when a Muslim is willing to pay zakat but refuses to pay it to a certain group or the state.

    Hanafi school, disapproved of fighting when the property owners undertake to distribute the zakat to the poor themselves.[47]

    Some classical jurists held the view that any Muslim who consciously refuses to pay zakat is an apostate, since the failure to believe that it is a religious duty (

    Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh and Yusuf al-Qaradawi have stated that the person who fails to pay Zakat should have the payment taken from them, along with half of his wealth.[52] Additionally, those who failed to pay the zakat would face God's punishment in the afterlife on the day of Judgment.[30]

    In modern states where zakat payment is compulsory, failure to pay is regulated by state law similarly to tax evasion.[citation needed]

    Distribution

    According to the Quran's Surah

    Al-Tawba, there are eight categories of people (asnaf) who qualify to benefit from zakat funds.[53]

    Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted ˹to the faith˺, for ˹freeing˺ slaves, for those in debt, for Allah's cause, and for ˹needy˺ travellers. ˹This is˺ an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

    — Surah At-Tawbah 9:60

    Islamic scholars have traditionally interpreted this verse as identifying the following eight categories of Muslim causes to be the proper recipients of zakat:[54][55]

    1. Those living without means of livelihood (Al-Fuqarā'),[54] the poor[55]
    2. Those who cannot meet their basic needs (Al-Masākīn),[54] the needy[55]
    3. To zakat collectors (Al-Āmilīyn 'Alihā)[54][55]
    4. To persuade those sympathetic to or expected to
      convert to Islam (Al-Mu'allafatu Qulūbuhum),[54] recent converts to Islam,[53][55][56] and potential allies in the cause of Islam[55][57]
    5. To free from slavery or servitude (Fir-Riqāb),[54] slaves of Muslims who have or intend to free from their master [clarification needed] by means of a kitabah contract[55][57]
    6. Those who have incurred overwhelming debts while attempting to satisfy their basic needs (Al-Ghārimīn),[54] debtors who in pursuit of a worthy goal incurred a debt[55]
    7. Those fighting for a religious cause or a cause of God (Fī Sabīlillāh),[54] or for Jihad in the way of Allah by means of pen, word, or sword,[58] or for Islamic warriors who fight against the unbelievers but are not salaried soldiers.[55][57][59]: h8.17 
    8. Wayfarers, stranded travellers (Ibnu Al-Sabīl),[54] travellers who are traveling with a worthy goal but cannot reach their destination without financial assistance[55][57]

    Zakat should not be given to one's own parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, spouses or the

    descendants of Muhammad.[60]

    Neither the Quran nor the Hadiths specify the relative division of zakat into the above eight categories.

    Shafi'i, are unanimous that collectors of zakat are to be paid first, with the balance to be distributed equally amongst the remaining seven categories of recipients, even in cases where one group's need is more demanding.[citation needed
    ]

    Muslim scholars disagree whether zakat recipients can include non-Muslims. Islamic scholarship, historically, has taught that only Muslims can be recipients of zakat.[62] In recent times, some state that zakat may be paid to non-Muslims after the needs of Muslims have been met, finding nothing in the Quran or sunna to indicate that zakat should be paid to Muslims only.[60]

    Additionally, the zakat funds may be spent on the administration of a centralized zakat collection system.[41] Representatives of the Salafi movement include propagation of Islam and any struggle in righteous cause among permissible ways of spending, while others argue that zakat funds should be spent on social welfare and economic development projects, or science and technology education.[60] Some hold spending them for defense to be permissible if a Muslim country is under attack.[60] Also, it is forbidden to disburse zakat funds into investments instead of being given to one of the above eight categories of recipients.[63]

    Role in society

    The zakat is considered by Muslims to be an act of piety through which one expresses concern for the well-being of fellow Muslims,

    redistribution of wealth and fosters a sense of solidarity amongst members of the Ummah.[65]

    Historical practice

    Implementation

    Zakat, an Islamic practice initiated by the

    Islamic prophet Muhammad, was first collected on the first day of Muharram.[66] It has played an important role throughout its history.[67] Schact suggests that the idea of zakat may have entered Islam from Judaism, with roots in the Hebrew and Aramaic word zakut.[27][68] However, some Islamic scholars[68] disagree that the Qur'anic verses on zakat (or zakah) have roots in Judaism.[69]

    The

    Ridda wars.[11][67][71]

    The second and third caliphs,

    Muawiyah I, as they did not recognize his legitimacy.[67]

    The practice of Islamic state-administered zakat was short-lived in Medina. During the reign of

    Umar bin Abdul Aziz (717–720 CE), it is reported that no one in Medina needed the zakat. After him, zakat came more to be considered as an individual responsibility.[67] This view changed over Islamic history. Sunni Muslims and rulers, for example, considered collection and disbursement of zakat as one of the functions of an Islamic state; this view has continued in modern Islamic countries.[73]

    Zakat is one of the

    jizyah tax.[76][77] Depending on the region, the dominant portion of zakat went typically to Amil (the zakat collectors) or Sabīlillāh (those fighting for religious cause, the caretaker of local mosque, or those working in the cause of God such as proselytizing non-Muslims to convert to Islam).[61][78]

    Contemporary practice

    According to the researcher Russell Powell in 2010, zakat was mandatory by state law in Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. There were government-run voluntary zakat contribution programs in Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.[79]

    In a 2019 study conducted by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding that examined philanthropy for American Muslims in comparison to other faith and non-faith groups, it was found that for American Muslims, Zakat was an important driver of charitable giving. This results in American Muslims being the most likely faith group studied to be motivated to donate based on a believed religious obligation (zakat), and a "feeling that those with more should help those with less", referencing again the concept and religious imperative behind Zakat.[80]

    Collection

    Zakat donation box at Taipei Grand Mosque in Taipei, Taiwan

    Today, in most Muslim countries, Zakat is at the discretion of Muslims over how and whether to pay, typically enforced by fear of God, peer pressure and an individual's personal feelings.[17] Among the Sunni Muslims, Zakat committees, linked to a religious cause or local mosque, collect zakat.[81] Among the Shia Muslims, deputies on behalf of Imams collect the zakat.[82]

    In six of the 47 Muslim-majority countries—Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen—zakat is obligatory and collected by the state.[17][18][83][84] In Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Bangladesh, the zakat is regulated by the state, but contributions are voluntary.[85]

    The states where Zakat is compulsory differ in their definition of the base for zakat computation.[83] Zakat is generally levied on livestock (except in Pakistan) and agricultural produce, although the types of taxable livestock and produce differ from country to country.[83] Zakat is imposed on cash and precious metals in four countries with different methods of assessment.[83] Income is subject to zakat in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, while only Sudan imposes zakat on "wealth that yields income".[83] In Pakistan, property is exempt from the zakat calculation basis, and the compulsory zakat is primarily collected from the agriculture sector.[78]

    Under compulsory systems of zakat tax collection, such as Malaysia and Pakistan, evasion is very common and the zakat (alms tax) is regressive.[17] A considerable number of Muslims accept their duty to pay zakat, but deny that the state has a right to levy it, and they may pay zakat voluntarily while evading official collection.[83] In discretion-based systems of collection, studies suggest zakat is collected from and paid only by a fraction of Muslim population who can pay.[17]

    In the United Kingdom, which has a Muslim minority, more than three out of ten Muslims gave to charity (Zakat being described as "the Muslim practice of charitable donations"), according to a 2013 poll of 4000 people.

    atheists.[86]

    Distribution

    The primary sources of sharia also do not specify to whom the zakat should be paid – to zakat collectors claiming to represent one class of zakat beneficiary (for example, poor), collectors who were representing religious bodies, or collectors representing the Islamic state.[61][87] This has caused significant conflicts and allegations of zakat abuse within the Islamic community, both historically[61] and in modern times.[88]

    Fi Sabillillah is the most prominent asnaf in Southeast Asian Muslim societies, where it broadly construed to include funding missionary work, Quranic schools and anything else that serves the Islamic community (ummah) in general.[89]

    Role in society

    In 2012, Islamic financial analysts estimated annual zakat spending exceeded US$200 billion per year, which they estimated to be 15 times more than provided by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.[90][91] Islamic scholars and development workers state that much of this zakat practice is mismanaged, wasted or ineffective.[90] About a quarter of the Muslim world[92] continues to live on $1.25 a day or less, according to the 2012 report.[90]

    A 1999 study of Sudan and Pakistan, where zakat is mandated by the state, estimated that zakat proceeds ranged between 0.3 and 0.5 percent of GDP, while a more recent report put zakat proceeds in Malaysia at 0.1% of GDP.[83] These numbers are far below what was expected when the governments of these countries tried to Islamize their economies, and the collected amount is too small to have a sizeable macroeconomic effect.[83]

    In a 2014 study,[93] Nasim Shirazi states widespread poverty persists in Islamic world despite zakat collections every year. Over 70% of the Muslim population in most Muslim countries is impoverished and lives on less than US$2 per day. In over 10 Muslim-majority countries, over 50% of the population lived on less than $1.25 per day income, states Shirazi.[93] Zakat has so far failed to relieve large scale absolute poverty among Muslims in most Muslim countries.[93]

    Related terms

    Zakat is required of Muslims only. For non-Muslims living in an Islamic state, sharia was historically seen as mandating jizya (poll tax).[94] Other forms of taxation on Muslims or non-Muslims, that have been used in Islamic history, include kharaj (land tax),[95] khums (tax on booty and loot seized from non-Muslims, sudden wealth),[96] ushur (tax at state border, sea port, and each city border on goods movement, customs),[97] kari (house tax)[98] and chari (sometimes called maara, pasture tax).[99][100]

    There are differences in the interpretation and scope of zakat and other related taxes in various sects of Islam. For example,

    Shi'ites, with Shia expected to pay one fifth of their excess income after expenses as khums, while Sunnis do not.[101] At least a tenth part of zakat and khums every year, among Shi'ites, after its collection by Imam and his religious deputies under its doctrine of niyaba, goes as income for its hierarchical system of Shia clergy.[82][102] Among Ismaili sub-sect of Shias, the mandatory taxes which includes zakat, is called dasond, and 20% of the collected amount is set aside as income for the Imams.[103] Some branches of Shia Islam treat the right to lead as Imam and right to receive 20% of collected zakat and other alms as a hereditary right of its clergy.[citation needed
    ]

    Sadaqah is another related term for charity, usually construed as a discretionary counterpart to zakat.[104]

    Zakat al-Fitr

    Further information: Zakat al-Fitr

    Zakat al-Fitr or Sadaqat al-Fitr

    'Eid al-Fitr (the festival of breaking the fast) following Ramadan, along with the rest of the Muslims.[108]

    Zakat al-Fitr is a fixed amount assessed per person, while Zakat al mal is based on personal income and property.[107] According to one source, the Hidaya Foundation, the suggested Zakat al Fitr donation is based on the price of 1 Saa (approx. 3 kg) of rice or wheat at local costs, (as of 2015, approximately $7.00 in the U.S.).[105]

At that time most of the Arabs throughout the peninsula refused to continue paying zakat (now a kind of tax) to the central authority in Medina; Abu Bakr, upon assuming the leadership, swore he would force them all to pay this zakat, "even if they refuse me only a [camel's] hobble of it," and sent armies that subdued these rebels or "apostates" in large-scale battles that were soon followed by the great Islamic conquests beyond the Arabian peninsula itself."
