Zakat is meant for specific eligible groups, as outlined in the Qur’an (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60). If you are struggling financially and meet the criteria—such as having little to no income or being in debt—you may be eligible to receive Zakat.
However, you cannot give Zakat to yourself from your own wealth. Zakat must be given to someone else who qualifies.
If you are in need, organizations like Penny Appeal USA can help ensure Zakat donations reach people just like you—with dignity and care.
