I'm your host, Mohsin Shah and joining me is Sheikh Ali Maal, السلام عليكم Sheikh Na. السلام عليكم ورحمة الله ورحمة الله. شيخنا نقل لأقل الثلاثة أسوأ ونحن نتحدث عن خلاصنا. دعنا نضع نفسنا لنقوم بشكل جيد في نظام الثلاثة هل تستطيع أن تخبرنا أمام الثلاثة ونقوم بشكل جيد في نظام الثلاثة؟ أعوذ بالله السميع عن عليمنا الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين وصر الله على محمد وآله الطيبين الطاهرين زكات تقريبا يعني أنها تقريبا تقريبا ومن المشاكل أن تقريب بشكل جيد في نظام الثلاثة ومن المشاكل أن تقريب بشكل جيد في نظام الثلاثة ومن المشاكل أن يعمل حصوله في منظمة أمام الثلاثة ومن المشاكل أن تقريبا تقريبا ومن المشاكل أن يعمل حصوله��이 والذي يساعد الناس to pay the zakat ومشاهدة for those who have farms and cattle those who deal with farming and cattle and so forth so most of us don't have to worry about the zakat issue but however in some cases some people might have cattle and farms and so forth and of course with the cuts if they reach threshold ونصاب كما تفهم ، فالزكات يجب عليهم أن تساعدها ، إذا كانت فقط إذا كانت فقط كتول فقط أكثر من الزكات ، فلن يجب عليها أن تساعد أي شيء ، لا شيء يجب عليها أن تساعد دعنا نرى what the Holy Quran states with regard to the Zakat الله سبحانه وتعالى ، يسمى الرحمن الرحيم إنما صدقات للفقراء والمساكين والعملين عليها The Zakat is paid for the poor people and those who are in need and those who work for it, who gather and bring the Zakat, the collectors والمؤلفة قلوب of those who hearts our boats in other words, those who do not believe in the faith but we can attract them through buying their hearts towards Islam وفرقاب والغاومين وفي سبيل الله وبن السبيل فريضة من الله والله علم وحكيم to the end of the ayah that there are certain groups that we have to pay Zakat to so that's the verse of the Zakat the narration the Imam عليه السلام states with regard to the Zakat for those who do not pay the Zakat the consequence of not paying the Zakat قال الإمام الصادق عليه السلام ماضا عمال في بر أو بح إلا من منع الزكات there's no money or wealth lost in the sea or on land except from those who do not pay the Zakat sometimes some people lose sometimes entire wealth or part of their wealth they try to find a reason for it why did I made such a great loss in my business for example why did I for example lost let's say my assets there was a fire for example they caught a fire for example and so forth the Imam says one of them is for those who do not pay the Zakat when people don't pay the Zakat then this is the consequence and the consequence of the Akhira is even worse and of course the Zakat as I mentioned in the beginning that it brings the khair and the blessing to the wealth increases the sustenance and so forth so the one should be able to stick with the narrations and the Holy Quran statements with regard to paying the Zakat as it is wajib on every individual so Shaykhna like you know Choms was on different sort of categories is it the same with the Zakat I mean is it on different types of items as well of course the Zakat should be paid to nine items which are wheat barley dates raisin gold silver camel cow and sheep nine items in which the one should pay the Zakat but as I've mentioned in the beginning there's an Asab threshold which must be met so he can pay the Zakat otherwise there's no need that's why we for example ourselves at home for example we buy dates we buy wheat we buy raisins but very small amount so we don't have to pay Zakat but instead if we have used them we pay Choms different method of payment but this one Zakat if you have reached that stage and level of threshold of the Zakat payment then you're exempted you can enjoy them use them or eat them their food without worrying about paying the Zakat but if they reach a certain amount let's say you have a filled farm in this case when it reaches that threshold then it becomes wajib to pay a certain amount of Zakat so it's really based around agriculture and farming what are like the circumstances and the liabilities for paying Zakat as in who is the person that has to pay Zakat well when the Zakat item reaches the threshold or the Nisaab as mentioned and in addition the owners are adolescents in other words they are baligh and they are sane they are free and not slaves for example and be able to execute and dispose the Zakat in this case it becomes wajib for them to pay the Zakat but these are the conditions so they have to meet these conditions to be able to pay the Zakat حسنت ما شاء الشخص شخص how much roughly is the Zakat on those crops if these crops were irrigated and in other words were given water naturally in other words by rain stream and so forth the Zakat of these crops will be around 10% and if they were irrigated by the buckets the pumps you know sometimes you bring a motorized pump to bring out water from the well or let's say artificially for example so if you manually give the water to these fields and lands in this case it would go down to 5% so naturally godly if they were given water and rain and so forth then it's 10% manmade that's it or given by water manually in this case it becomes 5% شخص what about golden silver because you mentioned that how much is the Zakat on golden silver for golden silver both if they reach in Nisab which is the threshold if they reach that amount of grams of Nisab and threshold in this case it becomes Wajib to pay the Zakat which is around 2.5% 2.6% of the total of that golden silver so if the one reaches that amount of threshold in Nisab that he owns that amount of gold and silver then they have to pay 2.5% to 2.6% with regard to the silver an amount of Zakat ما شاء الله شخص with Zakat how is it distributed amongst the people the disposal of the Zakat as mentioned in the صار عمالية in 8 cases so number one is the poor so you give it to the poor number two the destitute the one who is in need number three the collector of the Zakat and number four those who whose hearts are to be won as mentioned المؤلف قلوبهم those who are enemies of Islam but you can buy their hearts so they won't wage war against Islam as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم I did with أبو صفيان and others of بني أمية and ورايش who the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in some occasions he gave them 100 camel each number five for buying slaves and setting them free and again if you have the issue of slaves you want to free them then you take the money of the Zakat to free them number six the debtors who are unable to pay their debts okay so those who can't pay their debt exactly they have huge debts they made a great loss in their business they lost their job their job less now for example they had huge debts for example from the banks from people and so forth they can use the Zakat as a means of paying their debts number seven in the cause of الله سبحانه وتعالى whatever comes under this title the cause of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and in some cases some of them allowed to spend this money of the Zakat for the cause of Islamic centers and so forth it depends on some situations exactly the cause of Allah سبحانه وتعالى what comes under it then you can spend and number eight is the stranded traveler the one who loses his wealth his money while he's a journey so he's also paid so he can go back home safely so those eight are the main ones in which the Zakat can be given to and as I've mentioned in the Khoms episodes that you cannot pay these Zakat these eight the Sayyid the Sayyid cannot receive these payments of Zakat because they have their own payments which is 10% share of the Sayyid from the Khoms the total Khoms which is the 20% so they get the half share the 10% goes to the Sayyids we cannot pay them Zakat it's not allowed and who's actually qualified to receive the Zakat those who qualify to receive the Zakat are number one the most important is that he must be 12 and we have this issue that those who are converted to other schools the school of Ahl-e-Bayt and they're from different schools the Zakat must be paid only to those who follow Ahl-e-Bayt that's a debatable issue in the Fiqh that do they have to pay the Zakat they paid in the time in which they were known as Shi'a for example that's another debate they have so if you pay the Zakat to non-Shi'a then you have to repay it back to the Shi'a for Ahl-e-Bayt you cannot pay it to any other others who does not believe in the life of Ahl-e-Bayt so that's the main and the core condition with regard to those who qualify for the Zakat payment the second point and to qualify to be paid we have to make sure that we pay the Zakat to the poor they should be the ones in which do not pursue towards committing of sins so you know that if you pay him the Zakat he'll buy drugs with it or he'll buy alcohol that God forbid in this case you're not allowed to pay so only the ones who are spending the Zakat to the right destination and direction you cannot pay the Zakat for those for those who pay the Zakat to buy forbidden items and of course it is not permissible and allowed to give the Zakat to the ones dependents I'm sure if somebody is living in a difficult and hardship situation and he can manage to run his life so he's not a poor person but he's finding difficulty in living he's not allowed to pay his children for example or his wife Zakat because he can't buy them for example specific items or clothing for example but he's not a poor person so no you can't use the Zakat to pay your dependents that's another issue and the fourth one as mentioned that the states cannot receive the Zakat and they have of course but if the situation was worse and difficult and they are living in hardship in this case they can receive the Zakat as a final option for them that even the Khamas money is not enough or is not given to them but we have we have enough savings with Zakat we have the the the treasury for example they have enough money from the Zakat but not from the Khamas in this case we can give them to the say it's Zakat in such hardship conditions that there's no way they can get money and wealth from any other sources masha'a Allah شخصاً my final question is do we need to have any intentions prior to giving Zakat with regard to the intention as we mentioned that Zakat is part of the Ibadat so and wajibat and obligatory acts in which they become wajib on the individual to practice them and perform them and they're in line with the Salah and the fasting and Hajj and Khamas payment of course and Jihad and other wajib acts in for ad-deen so in this case for such act of course you have to specify and make the intention that you're paying this item or this amount of money as Zakat otherwise you're paying money for nothing just no mortality or even Khamas for example so you make sure that you keep in mind that this money I'm paying is Zakat or Khamas or Zakat or Fitra not Zakat of cattle for example because we have another type of Zakat which is Zakat or Fitra in which you pay the Zakat on the day of Eid of Al-Fitr after the month of Ramadan which is wajib of course now these payments you have to specify them at least keep them in your mind and burn the mind that I'm paying this with the title of Zakat or Fitra for example or the Zakat of the crops for example or if it's Khamas then it's Khamas so you can actually have achieved and attained and fulfilled the obligation and the duty of paying the حقوق and the wajib of Zakat or Khamas Thank you very much for that discussion and thank you to all of you for joining us on this season of Ahqam SOS Insha'Allah I will see you in a brand
