Zakat and obligatory giving

Zakat is the Islamic obligation to give a fixed percentage of accumulated wealth to those in need, treated as a religious duty rather than voluntary charity and enforceable by community norms rather than taxation. Its architecture assumes that wealth above basic security belongs partially to others by moral necessity, institutionalizing the idea that hoarding is not a right but a choice that violates obligation.
