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?

Charity, Zakat

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

If one gives their Zakaah to an institution that collects and distribute such money. In case the instituion suffers a theft and some money is lost. Will one count as having paid the Zakaah or should it be paid again?

It must be paid again as it didn’t reach the poor
