How to Pay Zakat (Obligatory Charity)
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which is an obligatory form of charity for Muslims. It is a form of wealth tax aimed at helping those in need within the local community. Zakat is typically calculated as a percentage of a Muslim's wealth and assets, which is distributed to specific categories of recipients, including the poor, needy, traveler's, those in debt and so on. By giving Zakat, Muslims purify their wealth and feel compassion and demonstrate solidarity with those less fortunate. The practice of Zakat is not only a means of fulfilling a religious duty but also a way to foster a sense of community, empathy, and responsibility towards the welfare of society as a whole.
