Zakat is a charity mandated in The Holy Quran and forms one of the five pillars of Islam.
Scholar verification
“I certify that all Zakat donated to LRBT will comply with Shariah principles of Zakat distribution and use.”
Mufti Abdul Rafay
What is Zakat
It is based on the principle that through Zakat, the prosperous can assist and uplift the poor, help those who are troubled and comfort those in hardship. Every Muslim who is of sound mind and possesses wealth above a certain threshold must donate 2.5% of his/her wealth in charity (Zakat) to the needy who meet the criteria to receive it. Zakat is based on the wealth you own and not income. Zakat can be paid at any time of the year but is due at the end of each lunar year once donors have reached the wealth threshold.
Zakat is our Amanah

Recipients of Zakat
“Zakat (alms) is only for the Fuqara’ (the poor), and Al-Masakin (the needy) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah’s Cause, and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.”
[Al-Quran 9:60]
The Quran identifies 8 categories of people who are eligible for Zakat and they are:
- Fuqara (poor) are those who do not have material possessions or the means of livelihood.
- Masakin (needy) are those with insufficient means of livelihood to meet their basic needs.
- Amil are those appointed to collect and administer Zakat.
- Muallaf are those who convert to Islam.
- Riqab are the enslaved or those wishing to buy their freedom.
- Gharmin are those in debt.
