and the Ulama of Tafsir are committing a grave error in that they give their Zakat in all those avenues where some work is carried out 'in the path of Allah'. For example, they give to the Masajid, Madaris, clinics, wells, roads etc., and all such works which are for the benefot of mankind. This is a grave mistake that they are making, and it is also contrary to the consensus of the Muslim Ummah.
mentioned that the recipients of Zakat were stated by Allah Ta'ala Himself and He had not even placed this assignment (of specifying the recipients) in the hands of His Nabi . Now then, if Zakat was to be spent on every person involved involved in some sort of Ibadah and good action, then this definition of the word given by Nabi would be pointless and superfluous. We should understand well that the import and definition of the word 'Fi Sabeelillah' which Allah Ta'ala had stated is not that which is generally accepted (literal meaning), it is the definition outlined by Nabi and the Mufassireen.
They cannot be given merely because they are 'Fi Sabeelillah' - check for definition of 'Fi Sabeelillah' elsewhere in this book.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
