Eight recipients of zakat
Reader comment on item: Guest Column: Where Did IS Come From?

The eight recipients of zakat were not dreamed up by the Muslim Brotherhood. They come straight from the Qur'an, 9:60.

"Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to the truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of God; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by God, and Godis full of knowledge and wisdom."
