The recipients of are specified in the verse: "Indeed, [ prescribed] charitable donations are only for the poor and the needy, and those who work on [collecting] them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and for [freeing] captives, and for those in debt, and for the cause of Allah , and for the wayfarer." The meaning of "for the cause of Allah" (fi sabilillah) refers to jihad and what assists it, according to the majority of scholars.
