التوبة — At-Taubah Ayat 60
۞ اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَاۤءِ وَالْمَسٰكِيْنِ وَالْعٰمِلِيْنَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَفِى الرِّقَابِ وَالْغٰرِمِيْنَ وَفِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِۗ فَرِيْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ
Innamaṣ-ṣadaqātu lil-fuqarā'i wal-masākīni wal-‘āmilīna ‘alaihā wal-mu'allafati qulūbuhum wa fir-riqābi wal-gārimīna wa fī sabīlillāhi wabnis-sabīl(i), farīḍatam minallāh(i), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).
"Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise."
