Primary text
Five categories of recipients are granted Zakat shares even if they are wealthy. These are: the administrator/worker (al-'amil), the one whose heart is to be reconciled (al-mu'allaf qalbuhu), the warrior in the cause of Allah (al-ghazi), the debtor settling a dispute between others (al-ghārim li-islāh dhāt al-bayn), and the wayfarer (ibn al-sabil) who is wealthy in his homeland. No specific evidence from the Quran or Sunnah is cited for this categorization within the provided text.
