Paying zakat to muslims, giving hibah to non muslim / Muhammad 'Amirul Hazim Muhamad Shaifuddin Shah … [et al.]

Zakat is a word derived from the word meaning pure and fertile, including clean, blessing, growing, and good for zakat wealth, zakat payers, and zakat receivers. While in terms of terms, even though the scholars put it in editorials that are slightly different from each other, the principle is the same, that is, zakat is part of the property with certain conditions, which Allah SWT obliges the owner to hand over to those who are wealthy. entitled to receive it with certain conditions as well. The relationship between the meaning of zakat according to the language and the understanding according to the term is very real and very close, that is the wealth that is given out as zakat will be a blessing, grow, develop, and increase, holy and good. This is as stated in surah at-Taubah: 103. "Take zakat from some of their wealth, with that zakat you clean and purify them, and pray for them. Indeed, your prayer is peace of mind for them. And Allah is All-Hearing and All­Knowing."
