Q&A/Fatwas

I had invested 8000 dhs in a company that paid me profit for a year. For the past one year I havent received any returns and the company came out to be a ponzi company that operated on bitcoin and the owner is in police custody with no guarantee of any returns. They havent paid any of the investors. Do i have to calculate zakat on this 8000 dhs. Kindly reply.

Zakat

ANSWER: This is your gold and you don’t need his permission to sell it.

Should zakat be calculated on selling price or on buying price? Like here if i buy gold the price will be 50k per vori, but if i have to sell it will be counted as 40000 tk per vori. Incase of selling they always deduct 20%. This is followed countrywide.
