What is the procedure for deduction of zakat from dividend income?
To deduct zakat from dividend income, first calculate the total dividend received within the zakat year. Zakat is typically set at 2.5% of this total income. After calculating the zakat amount, ensure that any other zakat-eligible assets are also considered, as they may affect the overall zakat obligation. Finally, the calculated zakat should be paid to eligible beneficiaries or charitable organizations.
What can you get zakat for yourself?
Zakat is meant for specific eligible groups, as outlined in the Qur’an (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60). If you are struggling financially and meet the criteria—such as having little to no income or being in debt—you may be eligible to receive Zakat. However, you cannot give Zakat to yourself from your own wealth. Zakat must be given to someone else who qualifies.

In Islam, Zakat is both a spiritual purification and a form of social responsibility. Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and refers to the obligatory almsgiving that every eligible Muslim must give from their wealth each year. By giving Zakat, Muslims purify their wealth and souls, while helping those in need and uplifting communities.

Can you pay zakat in instalments?
Yes, Zakat can be paid in installments. This can be helpful if someone is not able to pay the full amount at once. However, it's best to make sure the full Zakat amount is paid within the same Islamic (lunar) year__ it becomes due. Paying in parts is allowed, but the full amount should be completed before the next Zakat year. This helps keep the Zakat obligation complete and on time. Some organizations, like Penny Appeal Canada, allow people to donate Zakat in monthly or custom amounts. According to their Zakat policy, 100% of the donation goes to people in need, with no money taken for administration. They also make sure the Zakat is given to those who are eligible, and they keep the funds in a separate bank account until it's used.
