Who are the workers on it.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Who are the workers on it?

The questioner : They are those who collect zakah from the people.

The Shaykh : Who are they?

The questioner : Those who collect zakah from the people.

The Shaykh : I mean the charitable welfare association.

The questioner : No, no, the people of zakah, those who collect zakah from the people.

The Shaykh : The charitable welfare association collects zakah from the people.

The questioner : Those appointed by the government.

The Shaykh : Yes, they are the group that the state appoints to collect zakah from its owners and distribute it to its rightful recipients. They have a type of authority. For this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
the workers on it العاملين عليها
and not the workers on it. So the work here includes the meaning of authority.
