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.
Both “Zakah” and “Zakat” refer to the same Islamic obligation of charity. The difference is simply in transliteration from Arabic to English. “Zakah” is closer to the Arabic pronunciation, while “Zakat” is the more commonly used spelling worldwide. At Penny Appeal USA, we use Zakat for consistency, but both terms carry the same meaning—an essential pillar of Islam that requires giving 2.5% of one’s wealth to help those in need.

To deduct zakat from dividend income, first calculate the total dividend received within the zakat year. Zakat is typically set at 2.5% of this total income. After calculating the zakat amount, ensure that any other zakat-eligible assets are also considered, as they may affect the overall zakat obligation. Finally, the calculated zakat should be paid to eligible beneficiaries or charitable organizations.
