Who are not Eligible to receive Zakah? Dr. Zakir Naik | HD |

To Whom doesn't Zakah is Pay? Which categories of people can't receive Zakah?

Zakat may not be given to descendents of the prophet Muhammed, nor may it be given to parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, or spouses. It is also forbidden to disburse zakat funds to organizations that pay salaries to their employees, or use the money for investments.
Muslim scholars disagree whether the poor that qualify should include non-Muslims. Some state that Zakat may be paid to non-Muslims, but only after the needs of Muslims have been met.
Fi Sabillillah is the most prominent asnaf in Southeast Asian Muslim societies, where it broadly construed to include funding missionary work, Quranic schools and anything else that serves the community (ummah) in-general

@TheGateway7861

Zakah (alms) cannot given to the non-Muslims, however sadaqa (charity) can be given

Since zakah is the right of the poor Muslims, it cannot be given to the non-Muslims.
