From the categories of zakah: those who strive in the path of Allah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Among the categories of zakah are also those who strive in the path of Allah, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Tawbah 9:60].
Those who strive in the path of Allah are those who fight so that the word of Allah is the supreme word, not for nationalism, tribalism, bravery, or any other such objectives. The one who strives in the path of Allah is the one who fought so that the word of Allah is the supreme word. The evidence for this is: Read the hadith to me.
The student: The hadith about jihad, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The hadith that I mentioned.
The student: A man came to the Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him which jihad is in the path of Allah?
The Shaykh : No, where did you go? What is the hadith that you mentioned?
The student:.
The Shaykh : Good. Those who fight out of tribalism, bravery, and showing off are not among those who fight in the path of Allah, so they do not deserve any of the zakah. Only the one who fights so that the word of Allah is the supreme word is the one who fights in the path of Allah, and he is given from the zakah what helps him in his jihad, either in the form of dirhams given to him or weapons purchased for him.
