I intended to give a piece of gold of mine to one of my family member as charity. But now I am thinking to give it as my zakat to them. First I intended to give purely as charity not zakat. But now I want to give it as my zakat. Is it ok to change my intention from charity to zakat. Pls reply

Changing your intention is permissible before giving it away. However, you must be sure it is someone who is poor or needy.

In regards to doing charity, which receipients should be ones priority?

This depends on who is more needy of them.

Is it permissible to pay Sadaqah on behalf of your mum who is still alive?

No problem.

We see a lot of people begging or sitting on streets, in and out of Masjids asking for money. Is it permissible to give them alms?

Zakat must be given to the poor and needy! If you believe that these are not professional beggars, you can give them from the zakat money.

Is it OK to give a fixed amount like £5 on each payment I get from work to cover any haram in my earnings. Or should I vary it to stop it imitating zakah and being bidah.

It is best to avoid any prohibition at work as giving money wouldn’t mean there is no sin!

My query is, Al Hamdulillah I started earning since 4+years now and it’s good compared to my counterparts but ever since I started to earn I’ve always faced many losses despite avoiding haraam means and haraam dealing.My saving is low compared to what I earn. Please advice with words of naseeah..

Keep on working hard and give charity.

If I pay towards my Islamic education where I am taught Quraan, Aqeeedah, seerah fiqh al ibadah, will the money that I spent on books and tuition be considered as sadaqah? Is it okay to give sadaqah to a local masjid that is affiliated with deoband and jamahh tabligh

I had decided to help my uncle financially for umrah, I have recently got to know, he has passed away today. (inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon) So what should I do with that money? Please note that his family’s financial condition is very miserable. his daughters are not yet married.

You can keep that money and you can give it to his family.

I got a reminder yesterday to take some money out everyday for the last 10days of Ramadan so that the reward can be multiplied on the Night of Decree. So can I give charity for the 21st,22nd,23rd and 24th of Ramadan today ?

This reminder is false and baseless.

I have a lot of debt on my head…Do I need to payoff all my debt before giving charity to poor?

Paying off your debts is more important than giving the poor
