This book provides an in-depth analysis of Zakãt in Shī‘a jurisprudence, explaining its importance as one of the fundamental pillars of Islam and its role in promoting social justice.

"Zakãt in Shī‘a Fiqh" offers a comprehensive exploration of the principles and application of Zakãt (charity giving) according to Shī‘a Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). As one of the five pillars of Islam, Zakãt holds a significant place in Islamic law and theology, designed to purify one's wealth and redistribute resources within the Muslim community.

This book explains the Shī‘a perspective on Zakãt, discussing the categories of wealth subject to Zakãt, the recipients of this obligatory charity, and its essential role in alleviating poverty and addressing socio-economic disparities. The text also delves into the importance of the Imamah in ensuring proper implementation and distribution of Zakãt, in line with divine justice (Adalah).

The book further discusses the philosophical and ethical aspects of Zakãt in promoting social responsibility and welfare, focusing on how it fosters a balanced, just, and compassionate society. Alongside practical guidelines, it provides insight into how Zakãt serves as a spiritual exercise that fosters empathy, reduces materialism, and brings one closer to God.

With examples from the Qur'an and Hadith, the book explains how Zakãt aligns with broader Islamic principles of equality, justice, and self-purification, encouraging readers to appreciate its broader implications for individual and societal well-being.
