Is it permissible to give zakat to a close relative according to the Qur'an and Hadith?
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on giving zakaat al-fitr to poor relatives. He replied: It is permissible to give zakaat al-fitr and the zakaah of one's wealth to poor relatives, and indeed giving it to relatives is better than giving it to strangers, because giving it to relatives is both charity and upholding the ties of kinship. But that is subject to the condition that by giving it he is not protecting his wealth, which would be the case if the poor person is one on whom he is obliged to spend. In that case it is not permissible for him to meet the other person's needs with any of his zakaah, because if he does that then he is saving his wealth with what he gives of zakaah, and that is not permissible or allowed. But if he is not obliged to spend on him, then he may give his zakaah to him, and in fact giving his zakaah to him is better than giving it to a stranger, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Your charity given to a relative is both charity and upholding the ties of kinship."

What did Muhammad preach about wealth?
Islam teaches us if we make enough for our sustenance and have a lil more extra bugs, we can give this to the poor and the needy in order that they for whom the daily bread butter/dal roti is tough, they can benefit from it its simple to calculate zakat if you live in the US like me then as per RTT news price of gold in US as of may 2011 is 1530 USD for 1 ounce , now as per the sunni system if ur wealth is worth 7.5 grams of gold or more then zakid is compulsory on you so in order to know who qualifies for zakat and who deserves it is done via gold by most as : converting 1 ounce into grams , 1 ounce = 30 grams so the math would be something like : 1530usd ------ 30 gms x usd--------85 gms so x = 1530 *85/30 = 4335 so if u make more then 4335 dollars of saving an year in America , 2.5 percent of ur annual saving has to go to zakat , so say of the 40000 dollars u saved 1000 dollars at the end of the year then ur zakat is (edit: i didnt add the fixed asset here, so by adding fixed assets it should be even less an amount then 382.5 for u to qualify, however the formula below still stands true) : (ur fixed assets + annual earnings saved)*2.5/100 = 25 so u are obliged to give this money to make ur money pak of the evil spiritually inshallah this benefits the seeker if any remember 4335 shouldnt be in cash only, it can be any asset u buy or assets with cash too (if the price of gold is so else it would be as per Golds price) salam walaikum WA rehmatuallah he WA barakatuhu correction: i by mistake mention 7.5 before, nisab level is 85 grams of golden on checking sorry astakfiruallah for making a mistake, so anyone who has an annual saving of 4335 (if given price of gold applies, else u can use the formula and calculate) or above n one lunar calendar passes him, he is eligible to pay 2.5 of it as Zakat bi iznillah
What is the Christian charity?
The third pillar: zakaah (poor due, charity tax) Just asAllaah has created people with different colours, attitudes and levels of knowledge, so too their deeds and provision vary. He has made some of them rich and some poor, to test the rich as to whether they show gratitude, and to test the poor as to whether they are patient. Because the believers are a brotherhood, and brotherhood is based on compassion, kindness, love and mercy, Allaah has enjoined upon the Muslims zakaah which is taken from the rich and given to the poor. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it, and invoke Allaah for them. Verily, your invocations are a source of security for them"[al-Tawbah 9:103] Zakaah purifies and cleanses wealth, and purifies the soul from stinginess and miserliness. It strengthens the love between the rich and poor, takes away hatred, makes security prevail and brings happiness to the ummah happy. Allaah has made the payment of zakaah obligatory upon everyone who owns the nisaab (minimum amount) for one year. The rate of zakaah on gold, silver, other metals and trade goods is one quarter of ten percent. On agricultural produce and fruits the amount is one-tenth if it is irrigated (by artificial means), and one-half of one-tenth if it is not irrigated (by artificial means, i.e., it is watered by rainfall or other natural means). Concerning an'aam animals (i.e., sheep, goats, cattle and camels) the details are explained in the books of fiqh… Whoever pays zakaah, Allaah expiates his sins thereby, and blesses his wealth, and stores up for him a great reward. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat-as-Salaah), and give Zakaah, and whatever of good (deeds that Allaah loves) you send forth for yourselves before you, you shall find it with Allaah. Certainly, Allaah is All-Seer of what you do"[al-Baqarah 2:110] Withholding zakaah brings disasters and evils upon the ummah. Allaah has threatened those who withhold it with a painful torment on the Day of Resurrection. He says (interpretation of the meaning): "O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the way of Allaah (i.e. Allaah's religion of Islamic Monotheism). And those who hoard up gold and silver (Al‑Kanz: the money, the Zakaah of which has not been paid) and spend them not in the way of Allaah, announce unto them a painful torment. On the Day when that (Al‑Kanz: money, gold and silver, the Zakaah of which has not been paid) will be heated in the fire of Hell and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, (and it will be said unto them:) 'This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you used to hoard'" [al-Tawbah 9:34-35] Concealing one's zakaah is better than paying it openly in front of people, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "If you disclose your Sadaqaat (almsgiving), it is well; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, that is better for you. (Allaah) will expiate you some of your sins. And Allaah is Well-Acquainted with what you do [al-Baqarah 2:271] When a Muslim pays his zakaah, it is not permissible for him to give it to anyone except those whom Allaah mentions in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): "As-Sadaqaat (here it means Zakaah) are only for the Fuqaraa' (poor), and Al‑Masaakeen (the poor) 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 Allaah's Cause (i.e. for Mujahidoon - those fighting in a holy battle), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allaah. And Allaah is All-Knower, All-Wise"[al-Tawbah 9:60] what a saddo
