What is the zakat of beauty?

In Islamic teachings, beauty is not merely a physical attribute but a blessing that should be accompanied by modesty and chastity.

Hawzah News Agency - The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali, peace and blessings of God be upon him, says:

«زكاةُ الجَمالِ، العَفافُ.»

"The zakat of beauty is chastity."

Ghurar al-Hikam, v. 1, p. 390

Note: Zakāt is a financial obligation in Islam based on which Muslims have to pay a certain amount of nine items to be spent for the poor and for other social purposes.
