اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ الْعٰمِلِیْنَ عَلَیْهَا وَ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ فِی الرِّقَابِ وَ الْغٰرِمِیْنَ وَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِیْلِؕ-فَرِیْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(60)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

Zakat[1] is only for the poor, the destitute, the collectors appointed for it, those whose hearts are to be reached with the love of Islam,[2] the freeing of a slave, debtors, ˹those˺ in the way of Allah, and the wayfarer. A decree from Allah; and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

Commentary

[1]

This verse states the eligible recipients of zakat.

[2]

This term refers to the people who were given zakat to increase their inclination to Islam, or to increase the love of the religion in their hearts, or to support their steadfastness upon the way of Islam; these people were eligible recipients of zakat but then this recipient-type was abrogated due to the consensus of the Prophetic Companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم as Allah granted Islam predominance (ending the need for this aid). This consensus was established during the reign of Sayyiduna Abū Bakr al-Siddīq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ.
