To whom and how do you give Zakat?

Re: To whom and how do you give Zakat?

^yep as close as can be. i usually gave it away to thsoe in family who needed it, or the maid that was working for us since our childhood.or now there is humanappeal organisation that i think could be valuable in reaching those who need. they sponsor orphans and other supplies to the needy.
just a reminder make sure you weigh your jewellery, i had an estimate gone wrong once, its always good to weigh it
