      In Mandaeism, zidqa (Classical Mandaic: ࡆࡉࡃࡒࡀ) refers to alms or almsgiving. 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.
      In Mandaean scriptures, including the Qulasta, the term kana ḏ-zidqa is used to refer to alms collection. The word kana is originally used to refer to vessels for storing water or milk, and is of Akkadian origin.
