Q&A/Fatwas

My question is that if one needs to pay Zakat on the Property (plots, non agricultural land etc.) which is purchased for the intention of investment? e.g. I purchased a plot for X mount and then for next 5 years it remains with me so during all these years do i have to pay Zakat on this plot value?

If you bought it to sell it and it is displayed for sale so that you can sell it and buy another one and so on, the answer is yes: you must give zakat for every year that had passed, according to the market price at each year.

Sheikh Assim,my question to you is having accessories permissible in performing Salah? for example wearing a watch,bracelet etc. For years I’ve been praying while wearing a watch,is my Salah valid?

Your prayer is valid. What makes you doubt its validity? The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi sa sallam used to pray while wearing his ring!

Is witr wajib?

It is a highly recommended sunnah.

I have many years of missed salat may Allah forgive me. I hear that I need to make it up but I also hear that I can just pray taubah and pray nawafil prayer and that will be enough in sha Allah. I want to do what will fix my mistakes in the past and I know Islam is not meant to be a burden on us and Allah is merciful can you please help

The time you did not pray is gone and dead, hence, there isn’t much you can do. You can only offer as many voluntary prayers as possible as you can’t make it up.

If we miss Fajr salah and happen to get up right before sunrise, do we still continue to pray Fajr during makrooh time. Or we should wait and pray 15/20 minutes after sunrise.

One must offer the prayer immediately when getting up regardless of the time or the position of the sun.

I work in an Islamic School where some teachers take turn to give the Jum’uah Khubah. I ask the children I teach to pay attention because there will be a quiz the following Monday. I then make some notes as the Khatib is speaking so that I can refer back to them during the quiz. Is this permissible? I don’t find that this causes me to be unable to listen attentively

This is not permissible and there is no jumaah for you for doing this.

sheikh my question is dat…in fajr salah there is two rakahs of sunnat-e-mauqida can we perform it after the two rakahs of farz salah..?

The Sunnah of Fajr is prayed before the Fajr salah. If one over sleeps, he can make it up afterwards.

Zakat

The zakat is given in the savings that exceed the threshold which one possesses for a lunar year. If you do not have any savings (or gold and silver) as such, there is no zakat for you.
