For the Muslim, the zaqât is an ethically compulsory payment of a religious character having material connotations. By means of the zaqât, a mechanism of individual and collective regulation is established that permits the promotion, consolidation and organization of the collective, Islam. It is a socializing precept that introduces the beginnings of the “welfare state”. However, it should also be pointed out that it instils in the Muslim ultraconservative behaviour and a disinclination to participate in the life of society; the practice of the zaqât de-incites individual demands, maintaining a status quo in relation to the social order and the logic of a class-conscious society.
