The fees for transferring the money of Zakah is not counted as Zakah
Are the fees for transferring money via Western Union counted as part of Zakaah money? For example, if I have to pay 215 Euros as Zakaah, I send 100 of it to a person in my country and the rest of the amount to someone else via Western Union. This person will receive only 100 Euros because the transfer fee for this amount is 15 Euros. In such a case,.. More

Ruling on consuming the wealth of the poor which is obtained from Zakah
I live with a family whose father died leaving behind two sons, three daughters and a wife. They are all students and want to go to the Zakaah office to ask for financial support.

Does debt prevent paying Zakah on crops?
A farmer borrowed an amount of a crop (i.e. wheat for example) from another person. Afterwards, the time of harvesting the crop had come, so should he exclude the borrowed amount as a debt and pay Zakaah on the rest of the harvest or pay it on all the harvest including the borrowed amount? What would be the case if the harvest does not reach the Nisaab.. More

She intends to sell her jewelry to perform Hajj
I read your Fatwa on the ruling of Zakaah on gold that is intended for adornment or savings. I want to know the ruling of jewelry owned by my wife which she uses for adornment noting that it exceeds the Nisaab. However, I once heard her say that if Allaah The Almighty Would Facilitate for her to gain some money, even a small amount, she would sell her.. More

Zakah on the money by which a piece of land was bought before a lunar year had lapsed
I collected money to buy a house or a piece of land to build a house on. I used to pay the Zakaah of that money every lunar year in the month of Ramadhaan. This year, in the month of Sha‘baan, Allaah The Almighty Granted me success in buying a piece of land with the money I collected. However, the selling contracts were not signed until Ramadhaan,..

Cases where giving charity is better than offering a voluntary Hajj
Please help me understand the attitude of ‘Abdullaah ibn Al-Mubaarak, may Allaah have mercy upon him, when he made up his mind not to complete his journey of offering voluntary Hajj when he met some poor people and gave them the money he had as charity except for a little which he kept to return home.
I have some questions concerning this incident:
1-.. More

The reward of an ongoing charity from inherited money
Should the ongoing charity that benefits the deceased be one of his deeds before his death? Or is it permissible that after his death his family establishes an ongoing charity and offers its reward to him although in his life he had a sufficient amount of money to give charity but he did not? I heard from a scholar that the reward of this charity does.. More

Paying Zakah on money collected for the purpose of medical treatment
My son is sick and I want to treat him. I work as an employee in a company. I collected money for him by saving from my salary. Moreover, the company sent me on a course for a month so I earned remuneration for this course. A lunar year elapsed on the money I collected and it reached the Nisaab (i.e. minimum amount liable to Zakaah). I obtained the.. More

He paid Zakah for the interests from a usurious bank
My wealth was deposited in a usurious bank. When I knew that this constitutes usury, I decided to withdraw it from the bank, get rid of the interest in charity and deposit the capital in an Islamic bank. What I want to ask about is: throughout the past ten years, I used to pay the Zakaah from my salary (which is lawfully earned) for the total value.. More

Paying the wages of workers who are not needed from Zakah
I have a small factory for producing fabric that consists of 2 machines. Each one needs 2 workers; one for the morning shift and the other for the night shift which means a total of 4 workers. I was obliged to sell one of the machines hoping that, Allaah Willing, within 4 months I would buy another. The presence of 4 workers for only one machine constitutes.. More

A person borrowed a sum of money from a bank to repay throughout a certain period. This person was able to collect the sum and he decided to pay back the loan before the appointed time its repayment is due.

Giving one's entire wealth in charity - a Sharee‘ah viewpoint
Is there a minimum limit for paying charity and participating in charitable projects? Also, is there a maximum limit for charitable deeds such as donating money? I posed this question because some people say that charity has a minimum and a maximum (for example Zakaah is the minimum and the third of one's wealth is the maximum according to the claim.. More

Delaying paying the sums of Zakah received by charity organizations
May Allaah The Almighty Reward you with the best reward. We are a charity organization. We receive Zakaah of cash and Zakaah of different crops at different times (wheat, cotton, olive, pistachio, sweet potato, and so on). We also distribute them consecutively throughout the year so it is difficult to determine which sum of money was spent and which.. More
