Yusuf Chambers: Is it essential to inform a person that he is being given from Zakaat?

Dr. Zakir: It’s not compulsory that you should inform the person whom you are giving Zakaat that this is from Zakaat money. As long as you are sure that the person who you are giving to comes under one of the 8 categories in the Qur’an, Fuqara, Masakeen, which we discussed last time, if he falls under one of the categories its not compulsory that you have to mention it’s from Zakaat.

If there is a doubt that he may not fall in the category then making inquiry is a must but otherwise in a general case it’s not compulsory you have to mention that this money is from Zakaat.
