Zakaat

Q: My mother passed away in December 2023. She pays her zakaat in Ramadan. One year has not passed since the last Ramadan. Is there an obligation to pay zakaat from the estate.

Q: Can a student intending to study actuarial science be assisted with zakaat money?

Q: I would like to know if clothes or any other items can be given as sadaqatul jaariyah?

Q: I have never had nisab for a full year. I normally get a bonus at the end of each year and then usually my income goes under the nisab during the year.

I do not have any other savings, investments, gold, silver, etc, but I do have nice furniture and expensive appliances. I also have a shariah loan outstanding for my car which I am still paying off.

Please advise if Zakaah is compulsory on me.

Q: If I get 5 lakhs money 2 days ago and zakat will be due on during this Ramzan, will zakat be fardh?

Q: The zakaat payable on stock items for sale is it on the market price, cost price or sale price?

Q: There is great rewards in making sadqah in the form of wells. I wanted to know if on the well it is permissible to have a dua instead of the donors name. There are wells I've contributed towards, but charities insist on a donor's name. My intention was to make Allah pleased so I requested short duas on the plaques instead. So the benefactor remembers blessings. Is this permissible?

Q: I was for Umrah in Madina and had around 15 atar bottles which I didn't like and thought of giving to someone instead of throwing them away. I found a street vendor and gave it to him. He also gave me one atar and miswak as part of gesture.

1. Is it ok to give from my side? Will I be rewarded?

2. Can I take it from him? I don't know his niyat of giving it to me, probably he mentioned this is from my side as you have given this to me.

3. Later, I gave both atar and miswak adding some money to a poor person. Is it correct?

Q: With regards to the valuation of stock for zakaat purposes, I'm aware that we value it at market value. However in that market value is it excluding or including VAT.

Q: If a person had missed Zakat of £1000 and all he had was £1000 in his possession and he bought a phone for £500 for example, what is the ruling on that phone - is it haram for him to keep, is it his property etc?
