Urgent Help Needed!!!!

[Muslimah]

wa alykom as salam


Mash a Allah, ok as for zakah, u r ordained to give out 2.5% of the money u had and not used for one full year.


I am trying to be brief and to the point.


ex.


U sold a car for $ 5000 on Rajab 1424.


U spent over a year (for whatever reasons), $ 2000.


By Rajab 1425, u had only $ 3000.


U must pay 2.5% of this 3000.


if u dont have this situation, meaning money saved not used for one full year, u r not obliged to pay zakah (the fard). HOwever of course u r obliged to give out sadakah (which is of course money for charity as well but voluntray). It is not specified with a certain amount, u may give whatever u can at any time.


In your case, if u save money from your salary till next year then u pay for this money. However, still let me re check about a monthly salary if u r obliged for zakah on a monthly basis. Mash a Allah may Allah bless u son.


Only Zakah the fard is specified according to what is mentioned above.


Still u r commanded to pay zakat fitr, as Ramadan is approaching, every muslim is obliged to pay out zakat fitr before Eid prayer. In other words, u may even give it our after the first day of Ramadan.


The purpose of this Zakah, is to:


Make up for any mistakes done during fasting.


Chear up the poor.


The amount is given in grain form: like a cup of grain, rice, barely..etc.


Hope I helped Insh a Allah
