Yes, you can distribute your Zakat among multiple people.
Islam allows Zakat to be divided among different eligible recipients rather than giving it all to one person.
Here’s how you can do it:
Zakat can be split among people who meet the criteria outlined in the Quran, ensuring that more individuals benefit from it.
It must be given to those who qualify, such as the poor, needy, debt-ridden, or others specified in Surah At-Tawbah (9:60).
While distributing Zakat, it’s essential to ensure that each recipient receives a meaningful amount that can help them with their needs.
Your Zakat remains valid as long as it reaches those who are eligible, regardless of whether you give it to one person or multiple people.
Dividing Zakat among different individuals can help address various hardships and uplift more lives.
By splitting your Zakat, you fulfill its purpose of ending financial struggles and bringing ease to more people.
And Allah knows best!
