description Throughout the centuries the Muslim Ummah and their scholars in particular have faced questions and challenges about zakat. However, there is a vast difference between raising questions for the sake of seeking knowledge and allegations based on mere assumption rather than on ijtihad. Zakat is a third pillar of Islam and it should therefore be realized that all the rulings and norms related to zakat are fixed by Shari'ah texts which can’t be changed because of change of time and space. To some people certain aspects of zakat seem irrelevant to our contemporary time and therefore they suggest revising the whole concept of zakat and applying it according to our modern era.
