Zakah and Ramadhaan

E-mail Print PDF

When in Ramadhaan do I need to pay Az-Zakah?

There is a difference between zakatul maal and zalatul fitr.  

Zakatul fitr is due upon a Muslim at the end of the month of Ramadhaan. Every Muslim must pay this at the end of the fasting month. This is given in the form of food to those who are needy. It is given either on the day of shawwal before salaatul Eid or at the end of Ramadhaan. 

Zakatul fitr is not to be confused with zakatul maal.

Zakatul maal is what a person owes on his/ her property. Zakatul maal is not necessarily due in Ramadhaan. This is a misconception. You could potentially pay zakah in any of the Islaamic months in the Islaamic lunar calendar. And if they had the money the whole year, then the zakah is due on that money. The date for paying zakatul maal is different for each and every individual, depending on whatever is the annual date every Islaamic year that they chose to pay their zakah.

INNOVATION ALERT - Shabbee Baraat

Concerning the Islaamic Hijree date of 15th Sha'baan the Imaam, the 'Allaamah Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah) was asked:

We see some people specifying the 15th of Sha'baan with particular supplications and reciting the Qur.aan and performing naafilah prayers. So what is the correct position concerning this, and may Allaah reward you with good?

He responded as follows:

That which is correct is that fasting the 15th of Sha'baan or specifying it with reciting (the Qur.aan) or making (particular) supplications has no basis.

So the day of the 15th of Sha'baan is like any other 15th day of other months.

So from that which is known is that it has been legislated for a person to fast the 13th, 14th and 15th of every month, however, Sha'baan is characterised unlike the other months in that (except for Ramadhaan) the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to fast more in Sha'baan than any other month.

Children in the Masjid

Children in the Masjid

By Haytham Sayfaddîn

 

There is a tendency for many people to state that it is not allowed for children to be in the Masjid, that children cannot be in the Masjid during the time of Salât, that they may only come when they are a certain age or that they may only come when we can guarantee a certain type of behaviour from them. Then based upon this statement, fathers and mothers are prevented from bringing their children to the Masjid. Furthermore, if parents choose to bring their children with them, they are frowned upon, looked down upon, and on occasion, these children are even hit.
