غلط فہمی دور کیجیے...


شریعت کے اعتبار سے جو مال خرچ کیا جاتا ہے وہ دو قسم کا ہے
صدقات
زکوٰۃ و عشر

1.
صدقات غریبوں کو بھی دے سکتے ہیں اور مسجد میں بھی لگا سکتے ہیں... دوسری بات یہ کہ صدقات میں مرضی ہے، دے دیا تو ثواب کما لیا اور اگر پوری زندگی میں ایک بار بھی نہ دیا تو گناہ نہیں...

2.
دوسری طرف زکوٰۃ و عشر مسجد کو نہیں دے سکتے کیونکہ یہ غریبوں کا حق ہے... مزید یہ کہ غریبوں کا یہ حق ہر سال ادا کرنا پڑتا ہے...

اب مجھے بتائیے کہ شریعت میں کس کا خیال زیادہ رکھا گیا ہے؟

اس قسم کے پوسٹ شیئر کرنے والے عموماً اس کے پیچھے کارفرما مذموم مقاصد سے ناواقف ہوتے ہیں...!!

یہ ہمارے معاشرہ کا بہت بڑا المیہ ہے ، غریب،نادار،بیمار اور ضرورتمندوں کی امداد کرنے کی بجائے بہت سے لوگ مسجدوں کی تعمیر کے لئے پیسے دے دیتے ہیں ، حالانکہ غرباء زیادہ مستحق ہوتے ہیں ،،،

علم کے بغیر عمل ہو یا عمل کے بغیر علم ہو نتیجہ ایک ہی ہے_ ایک صاحب جو کہ ایک سکول کے مالک ہیں انہوں نے ایک عالم دین سے فون سے کچھ یوں استفسار کیا،


سکالر صاحب، پہلا سوال یہ ہے کہ ہمارے سکول میں بچوں کے والدین کی طرف ہماری اکثر سالانہ فیسز بقایا ہوتی ہیں (جن کے ملنے کے امکانات بھی نہیں ہوتے)، تو کیا ہم سال کے بعد جو زکوات نکالتے ہیں اس میں ان فیسز کی رقم نکال لیا کریں؟


دوسرا سوال یہ ہے کہ کیا میں اپنی شادی شدہ بہنوں کو جو پہلے سے حج کر چکی ہیں ان کو اپنی طرف سے عمرہ کروا سکتا ہوں؟


سوال دو ہیں لیکن دیکھنے کی چیز یہ ہے کہ فرض کے معاملے میں گنجائش مانگی جا رہی ہے اور جو فرض نہیں بلکہ تحفہ ہے اس کے لیے اجازت مانگی جا رہی ہے_

[aazad.mubassir]

There are more empty grand Mosques than Shelter houses/hospitals together in the Muslim world. That's a dilemma of our society! We think Masjid is the only source of Sadiqa-e-Jaria and there's no harm in building a mosque for each street that is known by it's sect.

[h=1]Zakat
[/h]

NISAB VALUE: 218 (Silver) | 2,540 (Gold)
ZAKATUL FITR: 5 Per Person
(Lasted Edited: 24/03/2015)​

"True piety is this: to believe in God, and the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the Prophets, to give of one’s substance, however cherished, to kinsmen, and orphans, the needy, the traveler, beggars, and to ransom the slave, to perform the prayer, to pay the zakat.” (Qur’an 2:177)
The Meaning and Purpose of Zakat


The literal meaning of Zakat is ‘to cleanse’ or ‘purification’. In the Islamic faith, Zakat means purifying your wealth for the will of Allah SWT; to acknowledge that everything we own belongs to Allah SWT and to work towards the betterment of the Muslim Ummah. According to Islamic regulations, Zakat is 2.5% of one year’s total cumulative wealth. This amount is then distributed to the poor. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) has said “Whoever pays the zakat on his wealth will have its evil removed from him” (Ibn Khuzaimah and at-Tabaraani).
Zakat as a Means of Spiritual Purification
Zakat is not only a means to purify one’s wealth but it is also a spiritual purification which serves as a means to draw an individual closer to the Creator, Allah SWT. Ibn Taimiah said that, “the soul of one who gives zakat is blessed and so is his wealth”. It is quite clear from the above narration that in addition to being a moral obligation, Zakat is also a spiritual one which is why millions of Muslims every year give Zakat to the poor.



'In their wealth there is a known share for the beggars and the destitute’ (70:24-25)
We mentioned how Zakat is a means of connection between the person and Allah SWT. It also provides a connection between the giver and the recipient. The entire concept of donating a fraction of one’s wealth to the poor is a highly honourable act; one that comes with valuable lessons as well as blessings. First and foremost, it teaches Muslims self-discipline, allowing the giver to free themselves from the love of possessions and greed.

Who Should Pay Zakat?

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. As such, it is compulsory on Muslims, provided they meet certain conditions and criteria. Any Muslim who possesses the required nisaab (the minimum amount of wealth that one must have before zakat is payable) for one whole year is bound to pay Zakat on that wealth. It is imperative that Muslims know exactly how much Zakat they owe and How to Calculate Zakat so that the right amount can be given to the intended recipient.
A lot of people choose Ramadan as the month in which they pay their zakat and for good reasons. Ramadan is the month of blessings and the rewards for all good deeds is far greater in this blessed Ramadan that in any other month.

The Beneficiaries of Zakat?

To put it in simple terms, people who are poor and suffering are eligible to receive Zakat money. They can be any of the following:

• The Poor & The Needy – these people may have some wealth and funds but it is not enough to make up for the nisaab.
• The Destitute – People who have no wealth or funds. They are living their life on the very basics necessities of life.
• Zakat Collectors – People who collect Zakat as well as distribute it.
• Muslim Converts – This category was specifically designed to get new Muslim converts who were genuinely poor on their feet. It still exists to this day.
• People in Debt – People who are in debt but cannot pay it back are eligible for Zakat.
• Travellers – Muslims who are in the middle of their journey and out of money are eligible for zakat donations.

Zakat Cannot Be Used For

• building mosques
• to bury the deceased
• to clear the debt of the deceased

How Muslim Aid Uses Zakat

With millions of Muslims donating their Zakat to relief aid organisations around the world, it is a pivotal way to fight poverty. Muslim Aid uses these funds to help poor communities in isolated and remote corners of the world. We assist them in starting small businesses and help them gain the skills needed to get back on their feet in today’s economy and essentially come out of poverty. Zakat funds also go towards emergency relief in case of natural disasters and Tsunamis such as Typhoon Haiyan.

Making the Intention of Zakat

Making an intention is integral in Islam. It can be found in virtually every discipline in the Islamic faith. Muslims make an intention to pray before they pray. The same goes for fasting and Hajj. It is therefore, mandatory to make intention of giving zakat, either at the time of organising the payment or at the time of payment.

Items That Fall Under the Scope of Zakat

Jewellery and Precious Metal – Case in point, Gold and Silver. Both are come under Zakat even if they are used merely for decorative purposes. The reason behind it is simple; they contribute towards your cumulative wealth and as such their worth must be tabulated when calculating Zakat.

• Bank Accounts – Any cash, bonds, stock one might have in their savings account. The amount should be in the bank for one year. Loans given or funds received are also part of the Zakat process.
• Cattle and Crops - Cattle and crops that are in excess of one’s need.

‘TAKE ALMS FROM THEIR PROPERTY THAT YOU MAY PURIFY AND SANCTIFY THEM AND PRAY FOR THEM. VERILY YOUR PRAYERS ARE A COMFORT FOR THEM’ (9:103)
General Conditions of Zakat
Making Niyat is only half the task. Muslims must also consider the following conditions in order to ensure their Zakat contribution is paid correctly.
Recipient’s Eligibility: It is absolutely imperative that every shred of aid given reaches only those who need it most. As such, recipients of Zakat must be sufficiently poor to receive it. In a nutshell, if they don’t have personal assets that either meet or exceed the nisab, they are eligible to receive Zakat.

• Paying Zakat In Advance: People who wish to pay for Zakat for future years can certainly do so. Keep in mind that the pre-paid amount can be offset against the actual zakat liability incurred in future years.
• Payment in Kind: Zakat can be paid in many ways. The ideal way for today’s fast paced world is cash or if some people prefer, they can pay in kind as long as the value of goods are equal to the cash amount and furthermore, the recipient has agreed to accept the goods in kind.

Zakat and Tax:
Some people might think Zakat is a form of tax. It is not. Zakat and tax are two entirely different things. One is a spiritual act and an obligation as a caring human being and the other is a requirement of secular law. The concept of Zakat is to assist the poor and those who are suffering in order to help them end their suffering and get back on their feet.

Frequently asked questions about Zakat

Ahmad Sakr

Sound Vision consulted Br. Ahmad Sakr to find out about some of the frequently asked questions about Zakah and their answers. Ahmad Sakr studied Islam in Lebanon for 12 years with 20 different scholars form all parts of the Middle East. He learned Quran, Hadith, Fiqh, Seerah and Dawa from them.

Sakr is also director of the Islamic Education Center in Walnut, California.

These are the questions and answers he has given. (Please note that Imams differ in detail of some of the answers):
Question #1: What is Zakat-ul-Fitr?

Zakat -ul-Fitr is for fasting Muslims to give food or money on behalf of fasting people. The food or money is equal to one day's meals for one person. The head of the family pays this amount on behalf of each person in the family. If he is responsible for his mother and father, then he has to pay Zakat ul Fitr for them too.

If a person cannot fast permanently in the month of Ramadan (for instance, because of illness) they have to pay Fitra for each fasting day.
Question #2: Who is qualified to receive Zakah?

The Quran describes eight categories of people who are to receive Zakah in Surah 9, verse 60. "As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the Fuqara and Al-Masakin and those employed to collect the (funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's Cause, and for the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise."

Ahmad Sakr elaborated on these categories:

1. The poor (Fuqara)-this refers to someone who has no income
2. The needy (Masakin)-this is someone who for instance, may have a job, a house and a car, but their income is below the minimum requirement.
3. Employees of the Zakah. This category is sub-divided into the following:

• the group of people who are social services workers who go into the community to evaluate who is Faqeer and Miskeen.
• those who collect the Zakah money
• the accountant of the Zakah money
• investors who increase the share of the Zakah
• the clerical worker or secretary who puts the files in order
• those who will deliver Zakah to the ones who need it
• the outside auditor.

4. Sympathizers
These are those people who might enter or who have already entered Islam. Anyone we feel are good friends or ours (non-Muslim or new Muslims) we give them a gift from the Zakah money.

5. To free slaves
Riqab is the term used to describe the group of people who are slaves. The Zakah money is used to free the slaves. Sakr stresses that Islam did not invent slavery, but it gradually abolished it.

6. For the Gharimeen-those who are in debt
Zakah money is used to pay off debts but these people are not living in luxury, they are living a normal life. For example, someone who has gone bankrupt because of job loss and is overloaded with debt.

7. Fee Sabeelillah (for the Cause of Allah)
This can be anything for the love of Allah. Sakr gave the following examples:
a. for the employment of a Daiyah, Imam, or religious teachers to do Dawa
b. building Islamic schools
c. building Muslim clinics and hospitals
d. providing money to young men who want to marry but cannot afford Mahr
e. to assist poor travelers
f. to establish water springs on streets for those walking or travelers
(please note, these last three things were done by Khalifa Umar ibn Abdul Aziz)
g. to defend Muslims who are under attack
h. For television, radio or newspaper project aimed at doing Dawa
i. to help someone publish a book for Dawa
j. to pay for the studies of a student..
8. Ibn as Sabeel
This refers to a traveler, for instance who has lost his wallet and has to get back to his home.

Sakr stresses that this has to be verified to see if this person is really telling the truth, since there has been at least one case of a man claiming to be a lost traveler in North America who has stolen thousands from Muslims claiming to be a traveler of this type.
Question #3: How much Zakah do we give?

The amounts are the following:

2.5 percent-on annual savings that are Zakatable

5 percent-on agriculture being taken care of by a farmer who is planting and irrigating from his own money. During harvest time, he pays five percent from the total crop.

10 percent-on a farmer's product if it is being irrigated by rain

20 percent-on resources like oil or precious metals (i.e. gold, silver) which you find on a piece of land that you own. Sakr notes that this is "your property, no one has the right to nationalize it". You would pay 20 percent on what you produced in one year.
Question #4: Do I pay Zakah on my house and car

No, as long as you have one house, whether you have paid it off or not. If you have a second house for investment purposes, this is Zakatable. You would pay 2.5 percent on the total saved from the house. This excludes what is spent on maintenance or property taxes and insurance.

It's the same thing for a car. If you are renting a car to someone, this is considered a business entity, therefore, it is also Zakatable at 2.5 percent.
Question 5: Are businesses Zakatable?

First of all, the business should be Halal.

There are three opinions amongst the scholars:

1. If a businessman earns a certain amount from his business, whatever he saves after taking care of his family's needs and his business expenses, he pays Zakat of 2.5 percent on what he has saved.
2. A businessman has to pay Zakah on the commodities in his store. This would require evaluating the purchasing power of the commodity and then paying 2.5 percent on this amount.
3. Everything is from Allah and everything goes back to Allah. The more you give on your commodities, the better, and it does not have to be 2.5 percent.

Question #6: Should Zakah be paid only once a year?

The early Muslims actually paid Zakah everyday instead of paying in a large bulk once a year.

Some scholars have advised that we plan in advance for our Zakah because we might die and our inheritors may not pay the Zakah we owe.

Another group of scholars say for businesses, you should pay in advance. The way you would do this is by estimating how much business you will make and pay 2.5 percent.

If you decide to pay Zakah daily, give a specific amount to one of the eight categories, but nobody but you and Allah should know that you are giving, since some will feel it demeaning and insulting.
Question #7: Should Zakah be paid in Ramadan

Most Muslims prefer to give their Zakah in Ramadan because there are more rewards for doing so, but it is not necessary to pay Zakah in this blessed month.

Sakr noted that Muslims are in need throughout the year, not just in Ramadan, so we can benefit Muslims by paying other times of the year as well.
