Fiqh al-Zakat

Fiqh al-Zakat refers to the Islamic jurisprudence concerning zakat, which is a form of almsgiving and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It involves the rules and regulations governing how zakat should be calculated, who is eligible to receive it, and the conditions under which it is obligatory. Zakat is typically 2.5% of a Muslim's savings and assets, intended to purify wealth and support the needy. Understanding Fiqh al-Zakat ensures that Muslims fulfill their religious duty while contributing to social welfare and promoting economic justice within the community.
