Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is intended to purify wealth by distributing it to the poor and needy.

The Quran states,
“Take from their wealth ˹O Prophet˺ charity to purify and bless them, and pray for them—surely your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” (Quran 9:103).
