Zakat is a form of worship to Almight Allah. The intent of zakat is to allow those who have resources, which Allah has provided, to share those resources with those not as blessed by Allah. Zakat is a worship to Allah, seeking his good pleasure and blessing. If one is to use zakat when they have other means then they are doing two things incorrectly. First the are subverting their worship of Allah and that is never a good thing to do. Secondly they are dening the zakat that we intended for someone else. We must be careful when you say that a person is using zakat but still has other means, for we may not know the full burden that they carry.
