If you ask them for the money every year and insist on getting it back and they apologize that they don’t have or refuse to give it back, there is no zakat on it until you receive it! But if you are shy to ask, then you must pay zakat every single year.

I know zakat of a daughter cannot b given to a mother but if mother is in debt n ppl ask her to give back their money which she s taken from others as loan but not able to repay as loan is a huge amount, can she take zakat from daughter’s husband n repay d little little loan n try to get rid of debt which she is in since decade

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

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.
