It is the Islam’s second pillar that Allah imposed on the rich Muslims, an obligatory annual payment; It is deducted for the poor, so it would be one of the ways of ending misery, spreading happiness, and relieving the needy from the troubles of life.

As for Zakat ruling, it is an obligation in Islam. Allah the Almighty says: “establish prayer and give Zakah”. It is also established in the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him, that he said, “Islam is based on five things: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, the establishment of the prayer, the payment of Zakat, the Pilgrimage, and the fast during Ramadan.” Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
