The Difference Between Sadaqah and Zakah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the difference between sadaqah (voluntary charity) and zakah (the obligatory alms)? Is there a specific limit on how it is distributed?

Answer:
By it, the obligatory duty is meant. As for sadaqah, it can be zakah or it can be voluntary. Sadaqah is broader than zakah. Yes.
