if you mean to be payed for the person that has loan so yes , this is one of the types people that you can give them zakat
Zakat Declartion Form is basically meant for individuals/persons. As a Company is an artificial entity, therefore no declaration form is prescribed by the Zakat Ushar.
Sheep has 5 taxable limits: * The 1st taxable limit is 40, and its Zakat is one sheep. And as long as the number of sheep does not reach 40, no Zakat is payable on them. * The 2nd taxable limit is 121, and its Zakat is 2 sheep * The 3rd taxable limit is 201, and its Zakat is 3 Sheep * The 4th taxable limit is 301, and its Zakat is 4 Sheep * The 5th taxable limit is 400 and above, and in this case calculation should be made in hundreds, and one sheep should be given as Zakat for each group of 100 sheep. And it is not necessary that Zakat should be given from the same sheep. It will be sufficient if some other sheep are given, or money equal to the price of the sheep is given as Zakat.
yes the poor people is one of the types that take zakat
Zakat means to cleanse or purify as the person gives up a share of his/hers wealth they become cleansed from selfishness and greed.
no a wife cant give zakat or money of zakat to her husband under the masarif of zakat.
there are two type of Zakat: obligatory Zakat and Mustahab (recommended Zakat). Recommended Zakat is same as non obligatory donations. Syed can receive non obligatory Zakat from all. but obligatory only from Syed.
It is Zakat in Arabic as well. :)
A person who pays Zakat earns the money by the sweat of his brow, it involves the physical aspect of it. As the money is paid to the poor and the needy, it involves its financial aspects.
No we can not pay zakat in instalment.
Few points - It is the "right" of the poor people to get zakat from the rich. The rich are not doing them any favour. The rich have to obey the orders of Allah. This means that poor should not be ashmed to take zakat. - The poor is doing favour by accepting the zakat and not the other way round. Another reason why poor should not be ashmed to take zakat. - Zakat can be given any time of the year but its calculation should be kept at the same time of year. maybe January 2nd of every year or say 1st Ramadhan of every year etc. - People give Zakat in Ramadhan only because you get more blesssings from Allah during that month. Its not mandatory to give zakat only in Ramadhan. It is only mandatory to finish giving before eid. - There are many people who keep giving zakat all round the year because of many reasons 1) they don't want to say no if deserving person is in need 2) the zakat amount is huge so they ease the burden by giving it slowly over the year.
Zakat is a form of worship to Almight Allah. The intent of zakat is to allow those who have resources, which Allah has provided, to share those resources with those not as blessed by Allah. Zakat is a worship to Allah, seeking his good pleasure and blessing. If one is to use zakat when they have other means then they are doing two things incorrectly. First the are subverting their worship of Allah and that is never a good thing to do. Secondly they are dening the zakat that we intended for someone else. We must be careful when you say that a person is using zakat but still has other means, for we may not know the full burden that they carry.
What is zakat even that needs to be answered first
