A brief study of the minimum valid form of salām in Ḥanbalī fiqh, examining Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jaylānī's view and its treatment by the relied-upon Ḥanbalī scholars.
There are only eight valid recipients of zakāh. The Ḥanbalī madhhab is very strict on the categories for zakāh and does not permit expanding these categories. This is based on the usage of innamā at the beginning of the verse of zakāh. Technical details have been omitted for the sake of brevity and the issues are well known to students of knowledge.
