What is fiqh and law of zakat?

Fiqh refers to Islamic jurisprudence, the body of Islamic law derived from the Quran and Hadith that governs the practices and beliefs of Muslims. The law of zakat specifically outlines the obligations of almsgiving, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It mandates that Muslims with sufficient wealth must give a fixed portion, typically 2.5% of their savings, to those in need, thus promoting social welfare and economic justice within the community. The fiqh of zakat details the conditions, calculations, and eligible recipients, ensuring that the practice is carried out correctly and effectively.
