In Mandaeism, zidqa ( Classical Mandaic: ࡆࡉࡃࡒࡀ) refers to alms or almsgiving. [1] [2] Mandaean priests receive regular financial contributions from laypeople, since priesthood is typically a full-time occupation. Zidqa is also offered to the poor and needy. [3]
Other uses
The Mandaic term zidqa brika (literally "blessed oblation") refers to a ritual meal blessed by priests. An early self-appellation for Mandaeans is bhiri zidqa, meaning 'elect of righteousness'. [4]
