The Effect of Lechery on Alms (Zakat) in Islamic Jurisprudence "A Comparative Study"

Abstract

The study aimed to clarify the legal ruling on the effect of lechery in some of the rulings of alms (zakat), such as paying it to the lechery, an infidel or a Muslim, whether it was in the name of poverty, the wayfarer or the debtor. The study also touched on spending it to the lechery imam and the ruling on the sinner taking over the work of collecting and distributing zakat. The study concluded that it is permissible to pay it to the lechery poor and to the imams as well, but the wayfarer and the debtor do not pay them zakat if it is in a state of lechery because this is a subsidy for them.
