Zakat

Is it okay to give Zakah to our blood relatives when they are in extreme need without letting them know this is Zakah money so that they don’t feel embarrassed and shy in taking that money? Because many times people out of their dignity and self respect reject to take that money even if they are in need, especially from the people they know.

if zakah was given to a Syed family unknowingly and then we realize in the next year that they were Syed. Will that zakah for last year given to that Syed family be accepted or should we give that again?

This is not permissible because you would be benefiting from this and receiving money that would almost be lost for ever.

My father has passed away.I am afraid he did’t give zakat as it has to be.He worked very hard until his last day of his life to bring us up.He bought two flats for my brothers to help them marry although they have jobs and salaries but they didn’t have enough money to bear all the expenses of marriage.My question is: Is what my father has done for my brothers considered zakat?

I calculated the value of zakat that i had to give and it turned out to be 40000 rupees so i put this money aside. Few days later when i was about to hand over the zakat money, the rate of gold had changed and the due zakat now turned out to be 50000 rupees. At what rate do i give the zakat? According to the day i calculated it or the day when i hand over the money?

my question is:I have a land which i initially bought Four years ago with the intent to developed/built a house on it. Later I changed my mine to sell it so that I can meet up some of my needs. The amount of the land is upto nisab zakkat. Though the gain made is not much, less that the nisab. Do I have to calculate and pay zakat from the proceed?

If you intended to sell it and sold it and had spent the money in less than one year since intending tinsel it, there is no zakat.
