But Jihad in the Way of Allah is a much more comprehensive term than mere fighting in the Way of Allah | Akan tetapi cukup baginya memberikannya kepada tiga orang dari setiap golongan |

All are agreed that during the time of the Holy Prophet pensions and gifts were given under the head of 'winning over people', but there is a difference of opinion whether this head of expenditure was abolished or not after his death | But if it is necessitated that something should be spent under this head out of Zakat Funds, there is no reason why a differentiation should be made in this regard between sinful Muslims and unbelievers |
The Hanafis base their opinion on an incident that happened after the death of the Holy Prophet.
who arc employed to collect them | Tidak cukup baginya bilamana ternyata zakatnya hanya diberikan kepada kurang dari tiga orang; demikianlah pengertian yang disimpulkan dari ungkapan jamak pada ayat ini |

A portion of the spoils or other incomes may be spent on them and, if need be, also a portion of Zakat Funds |
Selanjutnya imamlah yang membagi-bagikannya kepada golongan-golongan tersebut secara merata; akan tetapi imam berhak mengutamakan individu tertentu dari suatu golongan atas yang lainnya.
Hanya saja tidak diwajibkan kepada pemilik harta yang dizakati, bilamana ia membaginya sendiri, meratakan pembagiannya kepada setiap golongan, karena hal ini amat sulit untuk dilaksanakan | There is a consensus of opinion about the first way, but there is difference of opinion about the second way |

Besides this, we learn from the fundamental principles of Islam that the sins of a needy person would in no way prevent us from helping him As a matter of fact such a help may prove very useful in reforming sinful and depraved persons | That is why some Jurists are of the opinion that Zakat Funds may be spent on every kind of good work |
Therefore the Qur'an allows the Amir of the Believers to spend a part of the Zakat Funds to achieve this end, if, when and where the required conditions exist.
