Zakat (زكاة) is very similar to a Christian tithe; it is a percentage income tax that is paid to the mosque for redistribution to poorer Muslims, to maintain the mosque, and to promote Islamic activities. Sunnis typically pay zakat at the 2.5% rate whereas Shiites typically pay zakat at the 10% rate.As for why Muslims pay zakat, they do so because they see giving back to their community as being the will of God and a good deed in its own right.

What happens if one uses another for zakat when they have other means?

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.
