the alms are meant only for the poor and the needy and those who are in charge thereof those whose hearts are to be reconciled and to free those in bondage and to help those burdened with debt and for expenditure in the way of allah and for the wayfarer. this is an obligation from allah. allah is allknowing allwise.
إنما الصدقات للفقراء والمساكين والعاملين عليها والمؤلفة قلوبهم وفي الرقاب والغارمين وفي سبيل الله وابن السبيل فريضة من الله والله عليم حكيم
