1.1 The Quranic Verse of Zakat
The foundation of all Zakat distribution at Spring of Dignity International is the explicit Quranic command establishing the eight eligible categories of Zakat recipients:
Innama as-sadaqatu lil-fuqara’i wal-masakini wal-‘amilina ‘alayha wal-mu’allafati qulubuhum wa fi r-riqabi wal-gharimina wa fi sabili llahi wabni s-sabili faridatan mina llahi
“Zakat expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect Zakat and for bringing hearts together and for freeing captives and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the stranded traveler — an obligation imposed by Allah.”
Surah At-Tawbah, 9:60 — Holy Quran
1.2 SDI Scholarly Position
This interpretation maximizes the reach of Zakat to serve the most vulnerable, consistent with the Maqasid al-Shariah, the overarching objectives of Islamic law which include the preservation of life, intellect, progeny, dignity, and wealth.
