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.

අල්ලාහ්ගෙන් වූ නියමයක් වශයෙන් සදකාවන් (අනිවාර්ය බද්ධ) හිමි විය යුත්තේ දිළිඳුන්ට ද දුගියන්ට ද ඒ සම්බන්ධව කටයුතු කරන්නන්ට ද තම හදවත් (ඉස්ලාමය වෙත) නැඹුරු වූවන්ට ද වහලුන් නිදහස් කිරීමේ දී ද, ණය බරින් පෙළෙන්නන්ට ද අල්ලාහ්ගේ මාර්ගයෙහි සහ (සරණ පතන) මගියන්ට ද වේ. තවද අල්ලාහ් සර්ව ඥානී ය; ප්‍රඥාවන්ත ය.
