Assalam o Alaikum, I constructed a house in partnership of two friends. It took about three years from purchase of land to completion. I faced a lot of financial hardship during this period and also borrowed money from people. Everything is settled now and we have distributed the profit etc. Is zakat payable on profit only or the capital also? It is only recently that the house is sold.

I have an uncle who recently suffered a stroke and as such he is currently unemployed. We would like to give our zakat to him but without telling him that it is zakat because he would be very upset if he knew it was zakat and might refuse it. So could we give him our zakat without telling him that it is zakat?
