Q&A/Fatwas

Muslims who goes to khabar and ask for provisions or help (in India it’s called Dargah) instead Allah. Can we give zakath to them? Aren’t those muslims are called mushriks? Is zakath permissible on them?

If one is sure that they visit graveyards to ask for help, you must not give zakat to them as this is shirk!

I have a questiom regarding zakat. I have heard that zakat can only be given to muslims and that you should not five zakaat to non muslims. Also, that zakat cannot be given to charitable organisations. Is this true?

You must give your zakat money directly to the hands of the poor and not to organizations. If those responsible are knowledgeable and trustworthy and would pay the zakat only to the really needy, this is permissible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cmVhm3mCqM

Is it allowed to give zakaat to an islamic non-profit organization that helps muslims in Myanmar? (The rohingya).

It has to be given to trustworthy Islamic relief organizations that know how to distribute zakat money.

If a person is having a saving amount e.g “A” which reached to nisaab and had passed 1 year on it, means Zakaah becomes compulsory on it. And that person is having a loan (.e.g. “B” amount)on him which he is paying monthly to Islamic Bank. So how the Zakaah is calculated. Also if loan minus saving (i.e. B-A) exceeds the saving amount then what about Zakaah on it ? Please clarify

The loan does not affect the wealth he has in his hand. If he wants to be fair, he should pay off the loan from his savings before zakat is due.

When saying the salaam at the end of the prayer, the worshipper intends three things: -To exit the prayer -To send salaams upon the recording angels -To send salaams upon his fellow-worshippers. So, if we are praying in congregation and I am the last person in the left side of the row, while saying tasleem to the left side where there is one, what should I intend?

Praise be to Allaah.The tasleem or salaam at the end of the prayer is one of its pillars or essential parts, and one cannot end or exit from the prayer without saying it, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (61) and at-Tirmidhi (3) from ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: […]

The rule is: if a person when he dies you would inherit him, you can’t give him your zakat! If your brother has a father, this means that when he dies, his father would inherit all his wealth. This means that you can give him from your zakat money. Kindly refer to the following link(s): […]

Praise be to Allaah. It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed Witr in different ways. He prayed one rak’ah, and three, and five, and seven, and nine.
