The Needy

According to the majority of jurists, the needy are the people whose earnings do not cover their basic needs. However, Abu Hanifah defined them as 'those who have no earnings at all.' They assume the same status of the poor as regards Zakah. The Hanafi and Maliki jurists consider them as deserving Zakah more than the poor. However, the Hanbali and Shafi`i jurists put forward the poor as more deserving Zakah.
