Do i have to pay zakah? (any muslims know)?

Question

I am a full time student but i have a part tiem job and money saved up. Do i have the obligation of zakah?

Answer 1

Yes you are obligated as long as you are financially able. Or else, your father can it for you instead; it's permitted by Islam.

Answer 2

Thank you for this question.

Without knowing more about your situation it is impossible to tell if you owe zakat or not.

Contrary to popular belief zakat is NOT a tax on income it is a tax on capital holdings. This means capital holdings you have held for a year. It also taxes certain agricultural products, livestock and natural resources.

The percentage is NOT 1/10, rather it is 1/40 or 2.5% of the "zakatable" holdings. And there is a minimum amount called nisab which you have to be over in order for the zakat to be required. If your holdings are below nisab then it is optional.

If you want to give more detailed account of your situation you can email me privately and I will let you know if you owe zakat and how much.

Zakat should be paid locally based on Quran and Hadith.

And Allah knows best

Peace and Blessings,

Salim
