As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the Fuqara' (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and for 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 (i.e. for Mujahidun - those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.
Wa kupewa sadaka ni mafakiri, na masikini, na wanao zitumikia, na wa kutiwa nguvu nyoyo zao, na katika kukomboa watumwa, na wenye madeni, na katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na wasafiri. Huu ni waajibu ulio faridhiwa na Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kujua Mwenye hikima.
