Question

Is it necessary to tell the person whom Zakaat is being given to, that this is money of Zakaat?

Answer

No, it is not necessary to explicitly say to the person that this is Zakaat money. As long as one has the intention of Zakaat in the heart – it will be valid. It can even be given by stating that “this is a gift”.
