The Live Questions in Zakat Fiqh

Five live debates in contemporary zakat practice that donors should understand: ʿāmilīna ʿalayhā treatment (can admin be paid from zakat?), fī sabīlillāh interpretation (restrictive, mainstream, or expansive?), tamlīk requirement, lunar-year (hawl) distribution timing, and cross-border allocation. We document the positions without picking sides.
