Those in debt

Allah Almighty has allocated a share of Zakat to those burdened by debt. He says: “Zakat is only for the poor, the needy, those who administer it, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, freeing those in bondage, those in debt, the cause of Allah, and stranded travellers. This is an obligation ordained by Allah, and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise” [At-Tawbah 9:60].
