Zakaat can be used for Dawah – Propagation of Islam – Dr Zakir Naik

Yusuf Chambers: Dr. Zakir, can Zakaat fund be used in order to propagate Islam and furthermore does this category fall under the title Jihad Fee Sabillah?

Dr. Zakir: The seventh category mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Tawbah ch. 9 verse no. 60 it is ‘Fee Sabilillah’
Jihad Fee Sabiillah is one of the categories of Fee Sabiillah, Fee Sabilllah means in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), Jihad Fee Sabiillah means striving in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and in context it means a person who is fighting for the cause of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) so surely Zakaat can be used for paying the salary of a person who is fighting in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), can be used for buying weapons if he is fighting to protect the Muslims.

In the broader sense Fee Sabilillah means striving in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) in any way but the category mentioned in the Qur’an is Fee Sabiillah, that’s in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and surely in this category it can be used for the propagation of Islam.

For example it can be used for distribution of Islamic literature, it can be used for holding Islamic conferences in which people will come closer to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and this category can also come in Mu-allafatul Quloob, those whose hearts are inclined towards Islam.

And furthermore Zakaat can be used for propagation like having Islamic programmes on satellite channel and there are Fatawas from different Fuqahas that Zakaat can also be used to fund the Islamic channel which is a non-profit channel and Islamic satellite channel so that the message of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), it reaches throughout the world. So one of the best way of propagation today is a satellite channel and you can use Zakaat funds even for supporting a satellite channel.
And our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said, its mentioned in the Hadith of

Sunan Abu Dawud Vol. no. 2 in the Book of Zakaat Hadith no. 1631 that

A rich person can receive Zakaat under 5 categories
No. 1 is for Jihaad Fee Sabillah
No. 2 if he is administrating the funds of Zakaat
No. 3 if he gets into debt
No. 4 he can use Zakaat money to buy something from a poor person who has received as Zakaat and
No. 5 that if his neighbor who was poor, who receives Zakaat and he uses that fund to give a meal to the neighbor who is rich so even though it is Zakaat, he can accept it.

So these are the 5 categories which are mentioned but in general, Alhumdulillah, Zakaat can be used for the propagation of Islam, Alhumdulillah.
