This is not permissible.

In our village people do so many biddah, l am planning to request a teacher who can teach quran with translation and explain the meaning. This teacher has to go by bus in our place. I want to know if I can give her my zakat money so she can teach the ladies and children and in the same time can support her family. The people who will come for study i want to spend my zakat money for their food so they will come to learn the truth about islam. This teacher has studied from Scholar Nighat Hashemi.

Zakat can’t be given for such a purpose!

Can someone use his monthly salary to pay zakat?

The sunnah is to wait until the lunar year has passed over your savings and then give zakat! Giving it every month once you receive the salary, is permissible providing you don’t have any other income!

I would like you to define me nisaab with an example.

A nisab is the threshold that a zakatable commodity must reach in order to be obligatory to give zakat on it! The nisab of gold is 85 grams and it is 595 grams for silver.

You have to pay zakat when a lunar year is completed over your savings that exceed the nisab amount (85 g of gold or 585 g silver or their respective value). If you have been in possession of the gold for a lunar year, you should give zakat for it.

This is not permissible! We must give the money to the poor directly and they can, if they want to dig such a well!

Should we keep a record of all the Zakaat and the Sadaqah (KHAIRAAT) which we do daily or on yearly basis? Like should we keep the receipts received from the Zakaat collector?

Why would you want to keep it? Allah doesn’t forget a thing!

is it possible that a person has gold below nisaab and cash below nisaab, but put together they total above nisaab? How does one figure that out?

The most authentic opinion is that gold is separate from cash and must not be combined for zakat.

A friend of mine collected zakaah for an area in Pakistan where needy people are living.There is on and off problem of water.They are using zakaah for boring water for an area/community. A scholar told us that zakaah must be given in ownership of the beneficiary and should not be used for communal work rather zakaah should be given to indiviuals in 8 category.For this purpose use sadaqa.plz advice
