Naseeb's Kort Zakaat Appeal
Fundraising for KORT
Story
Salams guys! This is a New Link i am using specifically for Zakat, Fitrana and Fidya for Ramadhan 2020.
Please donate generously and dont forget to follow me on Snapchat: PrinceNaseeb
All funds raised for this appeal will go towards the orphan children at KORT.
The giving of charity is even more virtuous during Ramadan, a month in which the rewards for deeds are multiplied. The Prophet (pbuh) was the most generous person and even more generous during this month. If you have yet to donate your Zakat this year, then this is great time to do so and Allah (swt) will multiply the reward.
Zakat, meaning to purify, is the third pillar of Islam and is a compulsory charitable payment that goes on to benefit the poor and needy.
Every sane, adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the current nisab value must pay Zakat, which is 2.5% of the individual’s total wealth.
Nisab is the minimum value of total wealth one must possess in order to pay Zakat. It is defined as the value of 87.5g of pure gold or 613g of silver. Most scholars favour the lower value as it means that more people can pay Zakat and therefore there are more beneficiaries.
Value of 613g of silver as of 17/04/2020 = £239.07
Please refer to your local imams for questions relating to Zakat.
Fitrana
Donate your Fitrana to KORT at £5 per head before the 15th of Ramadhan. This is to ensure that we can distribute the Fitrana amongst the poor and needy people so that they can prepare and celebrate Eid with their families just like the rest of us. Every Muslim is obliged, if they have the means to do so, to pay the Fitrana in Ramadhan. Adults should pay for themselves as well as children or others in their care unable to make the payment themselves. Fitrana is a way to give thanks to God for having enabled us the strength to observe the obligatory fasts and a way to cleanse ourselves of any shortcomings or misconduct during the month of Ramadan.
Fidya
Anyone who is unable to fast during Ramadhan due to health & medical reasons and is unable to make up the fasts after Ramadhan, Fidya must be paid at £5 per missed fast which you could also donate to KORT who will disburse the donations accordingly.
Please don't forget to add Gift Aid to your donations which will help with KORT's admin costs. This also ensures all funds raised go towards this cause.
****Please make sure you provide a breakdown of your donation in the Comments box if it includes different types of donations****
May Allah accept your fasting and good deeds this Ramadhan and may Allah bless you all in abundance.

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
- Cash held at home or in bank accounts
- Stocks and shares owned either directly or through investment funds
- Money lent to others
- Business stock in trade and merchandise
- Agricultural produce
- Livestock animals such as cows, buffalo, goats, sheep and camels
- Produce of mines
- Pensions
- Property owned for investment purposes
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, those in debt, the wayfarer, those in the cause of Allah (SWT), the needy, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, to free those in captivity and those who collect and distribute Zakat payments.
