Zakat is one of the obligations and is the third pillar of Islam. Allah SWT ordained it and made it a financial act of worship in relation to wealth and poverty. Wherever a person possesses wealth that reaches a specific level and meets the conditions for zakat, it becomes obligatory for the person to pay zakat. This is because the person is considered wealthy at that point and is required to perform the zakat. Conversely, the wealthy person is not entitled to receive zakat, as they do not need it, except in some instances in which scholars have allowed the rich to take zakat, such as fighters in the way of Allah SWT or those working with zakat funds. This research seeks to examine this issue by explaining the concept of wealth as understood by scholars, its various classifications, and the jurisprudential rulings on zakat of wealth, whether in receiving or giving, whether agreed upon or disputed. This will be done within a descriptive-analytical framework.
