"Zakāh expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakāh] and for bringing hearts together [for Islām] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of God and for the [stranded] traveler - an obli- gation [imposed] by God. And God is Knowing and Wise."— Sahih Intl
