This is not permissible. You must give the zakat away immediately and not save it.

You can give zakat to an individual who is poor or needy only.

Does the person we give zakaat to need to know that this is zakaat? Or can he think it is just a sadaqah or favor?

If the money you had in the past, was “zakatable”, you must pay for the past years too.

Recently , I read your post about deobandies Sec , we give our Zakhat to one of Madras , darulaloom in Remote area in kashmir, all children thre are orphans . So our Zakakhat amount goes to their food supplies. I got confused now,as you mentioned that they are also source of innovation in Islamic Should I continue to give them Zakhat.

If the money is going to feed orphans, this is permissible. But if it is spent to teach them their cult, this isn’t permissible.

No, this does not count without her permission and authorization.

No, you cannot do that. You must pay zakat on whatever money you possess, regardless of any debts or loans you are paying off.

There is no zakat on this.

I want to know if I can give my zakat (without mentioning it’s zakat) to my husband who is jobless and has no income. We live off his father’s income. I would like for my husband to use the zakat to help pay electricity bills, etc. So please tell me if this is permissible.
