Question

Is there any preferred method on giving zakaat, and what are the guidelines that make it obligatory on you to give it and receive it? If there is a website/article you trust or if you have already addressed this question on this issue already, i would appreciate the link.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
