The poor and the needy are at the centre of these verses: spending on them, doing them good and feeding them, with mention of them alongside parents, relatives, orphans and the traveller. The verses also recall the right that is theirs, and count them among the beneficiaries of expiations and of zakah.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Zakāh expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed for it and for bringing hearts together [for Islām] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allāh and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allāh. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
