Yes, you can give zakat to your unmarried sister even if your father is earning. Zakat is meant to assist those in financial need, and if your sister requires support, it is permissible to help her with your zakat funds. The obligation of zakat is to aid those who are less fortunate, regardless of the financial status of immediate family members. However, it's always good to consider the overall financial situation of the family when making such decisions.
Assalam-o-Alaikum Yes, you can give zakat to your real sister or brother if he / she deserve it. You can not give zakat to your parent, parents of your parents, your children and children of your children.
No you cann't. Not because she is non Muslim but because she is your maid and you are responsible of her living so she doesn't desrve zakat from you. Also, you can't pay zakat to your father or sons.
on Muslims it is an obligation to pay zakat ...in other words it purifies our money ...and in this way Muslims also help those who r poor and don't have enough earning to live on ...
Not ususally because a son-in-law is legally responsible (Islamically) for supporting his mother-in-law. Zakat can only be given to family members if the entire family is destitute.
yes you can and it is better because you have to help the people near to you more than any one . you can't pay zakat to your roots like " mother ,father , grand father ..." and also you can't pay zakat to your leaves like"sons ,your sons's sons "
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.
Zakat is the Fourth Pillar of Islam. It is also a duty of a Muslim sister or brother. When you donate your Zakat, it will hopefully be distributed to the less fortunate or the poor. It includes: young childern, adults, elderly people, disabled, etc. May Allah (SWT) give blessings to those who give Zakat and help those in need. Ameen.
It is Zakat in Arabic as well. :)
No zakat on christians but only Muslims.
Yes we can pay zakat on our assets.
The Zakat Foundation was created in 2001.
