ZAKAT MEANS PURIFY AND IS THE THIRD PILLAR OF ISLAM. IT IS A COMPULSORY CHARITABLE PAYMENT THAT GOES ON TO BENEFIT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.
ANYONE WHO IS UNABLE TO FAST DURING RAMADAN, DUE TO HEALTH AND MEDICAL REASONS, OR ANYONE WHO IS UNABLE TO MAKE UP FOR THE MISSED FASTS AFTER RAMADAN, MUST PAY FIDYA PER MISSED FAST.
FITRANA IS A WAY TO THANKING ALLAH (ﷻ) FOR GIVING US THE STRENGTH TO OBSERVE THE FASTS IN RAMADAN. FITRANA IS SIMILAR TO ZAKAT IN THIS WAY BUT MUST BE GIVEN BEFORE THE 15TH OF RAMADAN TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN DISTRIBUTE THE FITRANA AMONGST THE NEEDY SO THAT THEY CAN CELEBRATE EID WITH THEIR FAMILES. THE ADULTS SHOULD PAY FOR THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHERS IN THEIR HOUSEHOLDS WHO ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THE PAYMENT FOR THEMSELVES.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :
Q) WHO MUST PAY ZAKAT?
A) EVERY PERSON WHO IS SANE, AN ADULT (REACHED PUBERTY), MUSLIM AND SAHIB-UN-NISAB MUST PAY ZAKAT AS A DUTY. TO BE A SAHIB-UN-NISAB MEANS YOU POSSESS MORE WEALTH THAN THE LEVEL OF NISAB FOR A PERIOD OF ONE LUNAR YEAR OR MORE.
Q) WHAT TYPE OF WEALTH IS ZAKAT DUE ON?
A) GOLD AND SILVER, INCLUDING ORNAMENTS OR JEWELLERY CONTAINING GOLD AND/OR SILVER
- PENSIONS
- PRODUCE OF MINES
- MONEY LENT TO OTHERS
- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE
- CASH HELD AT HOME OR IN BANK ACCOUNTS
- PROPERTY OWNED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES
- BUSINESS STOCK IN TRADE AND MERCHANDISE
- LIVESTOCK ANIMALS SUCH AS COWS, BUFFALO, GOATS, SHEEP AND CAMELS
- STOCKS AND SHARES OWNED EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH INVESTMENT FUNDS
Q) WHEN SHOULD I PAY MY ZAKAT?
A) YOU CAN PAY ZAKAT AT ANY TIME OF YEAR, BUT MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DO SO DURING THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN WHEN THE REWARD FOR OUR GOOD DEEDS IS MULTIPLIED. THIS IS AMPLIFIED FURTHER DURING LAYLATUL QADR, THE NIGHT OF POWER, WHEN GOOD DEEDS ARE AMPLIFIED IN VALUE BY A THOUSAND TIMES. ALSO, MANY PEOPLE GIVE ZAKAT DURING RAMADAN EACH YEAR BECAUSE IT’S EASY TO TRACK THE PROGRESS AND END OF THE LUNAR YEAR, ENSURING THAT NO ZAKAT PAYMENTS ARE MISSED.
Q) WHO CAN RECEIVE ZAKAT?
A) THERE ARE EIGHT CATEGORIES AS OUTLINED IN THE QUR’AN:
- THE POOR
- THE NEEDY
- THOSE IN DEBT
- THE WAYFARER
- TO FREE THOSE IN CAPTIVITY
- THOSE IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (SWT)
- THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE TO BE RECONCILED
- THOSE WHO COLLECT AND DISTRIBUTE ZAKAT PAYMENTS
MAY ALLAH ACCEPT YOUR FASTING AND MULTIPLY YOUR GOOD DEEDS BY 700X THAT YOU CARRY OUT THIS RAMADAN.
