In both the verses, a decisive grammatical feature too strengthens this reading. The preposition li (“for”) appears only with the first three recipients: li-Allāh, li-l-Rasūl, and li-dhī al-qurbā. It is not repeated with the orphans, the needy, or the wayfarer, suggesting they are beneficiaries rather than independent owners. Thus the verses themselves distinguish between those who own the right (Allah, the Messenger, and the singular near relative) and those who merely receive from it.
