Zakah, Sadaqa, Waqaf
Pay your zakah...we manage!
Praise be to Allah.
Zakaah is due on wealth if it reaches the nisaab (minimum threshold at which zakaah becomes due) and one full hijri year has passed since it reached the nisaab.
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (9/281):
Zakaah must be paid on what is saved of an employee’s salary and reaches the nisaab by itself or when added to what the individual has of cash, when one year has passed since it reached the nisaab. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to money that is being saved for marriage, or to build a home, and so on, it is subject to zakaah if it reaches the nisaab and one year has passed since it reached the nisaab, whether it is in the form of gold, silver, or paper currency, because of the general meaning of the evidence which indicates that zakaah is due on whatever reaches the nisaab, after one year has passed, without exception.
End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz (14/130).
Whether this money is kept at home, or is stored in a bank account, or otherwise, it is subject to zakaah, if it reaches the nisaab and one year has passed since it reached the nisaab.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas said:
Zakaah must be paid on all kinds of wealth, whether it is saved in the bank or otherwise, if it reaches the nisaab by itself or when added to other kinds of wealth, such as trade goods and the like, and one year has passed since it reached the nisaab.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (9/200)
Based on that, with regard to this wealth that is kept in the bank – whether it is in dollars or otherwise – it is subject to zakaah every year.
Secondly:
With regard to property that is prepared to be rented out, there is no zakaah on it; rather zakaah is to be paid on the rent, when one year has passed, if it reaches the nisaab by itself or when added to other wealth. Please see the answer to question no. 47760.
But if you spend this rent and do not save any of it, then there is no zakaah on it.
The same may be said about the money that you earn from tutoring: if you spend it and do not save any of it, there is no zakaah on it.
With regard to what you save, when one year has passed, zakaah is due on it.
Thirdly:
With regard to the bonds or certificates, so long as you are keeping them for the purpose of benefiting from their profits and not for the purpose of trading in them, there is no zakaah on the capital or principles; rather zakaah is due on the profits or returns, if any of that is saved and one year passes. Whatever you spend of it before one year has passed is not subject to zakaah. For more information and important details on the topic of zakaah on shares, please see question no. 69912.
Fourthly:
You should understand that zakaah does not decrease wealth. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) swore an oath to that effect when he said: “Charity does not decrease wealth.” Narrated by Muslim (2588). In fact zakaah is a means of increasing wealth, bringing barakah (blessing) to it and warding off harm from it.
And Allah knows best.

Social Responsibility and Charity Partner
EVEN A SMILE IS A CHARITY!
Praise be to Allah.
The virtue of giving in charity whilst one is in good health:
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, which charity brings a greater reward?” He said, “If you give in charity when you are healthy and miserly, fearing poverty and hoping for richness. Do not delay until you are at the point of death and you say, ‘Give this to So and so, give this to So and so,’ …” (al-Bukhaari, 1330; Muslim, 1713).
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Al-Khattaabi said: what this hadeeth means is that miserliness is more likely when one is in good health, so if a person is miserly but he still gives in charity, his intention is more sincere and his reward will be greater, unlike the one who is facing death and no longer has any hope of living. Then he starts to realize that someone else will take his wealth, so his charity in this case is lacking, when compared with charity given when one is in good health. Stinginess is based on the hope of remaining alive and fear of poverty… so a person does not have as much reward for his will, compared to the reward for charity given by one who is healthy and miserly.”
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The hadeeth indicates that paying off debts and giving in charity during one's lifetime when one is in good health is better than doing so after death or when one is sick. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) referred to that when he said: ‘When you are in good health and being cautious, hoping to be rich…’ because when a person is in good health it is usually harder for him to give money, because the Shaytaan makes him fear for it and makes attractive to him the idea that he may live a long life and need that money, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
‘Shaytaan (Satan) threatens you with poverty’[al-Baqarah 2:268]
The Shaytaan may also make attractive the idea of being unfair in one's will or revoking it altogether.
Some of the Salaf said of some wealthy people: “They disobey Allaah with regard to their wealth twice, by being stingy with it when it is in their hands – i.e., during their lifetime, and by being extravagant with it when it is no longer in their hands – i.e., after death.” Al-Tirmidhi narrated with a hasan isnaad, which was classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan, that Abu’l-Dardaa’ said in a marfoo’ report: “The likeness of the one who frees slaves and gives in charity when he is dying is that of a person who gives his food away after he has eaten his fill.” This is similar to the hadeeth quoted above.
Abu Dawood narrated a marfoo’ hadeeth from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, which was classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan, which says: “If a man were to give one dirham in charity when he is alive and in good health, that is better for him than giving one hundred when he is dying.”.

Women of dawah and mother of the believers
Praise be to Allah.
Islam honours women greatly. It honours women as mothers who must be respected, obeyed and treated with kindness. Pleasing one's mother is regarded as part of pleasing Allaah. Islam tells us that Paradise lies at the mother’s feet, i.e. that the best way to reach Paradise is through one's mother. And Islam forbids disobeying one’s mother or making her angry, even by saying a mild word of disrespect. The mother’s rights are greater than those of the father, and the duty to take care of her grows greater as the mother grows older and weaker. All of that is mentioned in many texts of the Qur'aan and Sunnah Prophetic traditions).
For example, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents”
[al-Ahqaaf 46:15]
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young’”
[al-Isra’ 17:23, 24]
Ibn Maajah (2781) narrated that Mu’aawiyah ibn Jaahimiah al-Sulami (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allaah, I want to go for jihad (battle) with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allaah and the Hereafter. He said, “Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?” I said, Yes. He said, “Go back and honour her.” Then I approached him from the other side and said: O Messenger of Allaah, I want to go for jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allaah and the Hereafter. He said, “Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?” I said, Yes. He said, “Go back and honour her.” Then I approached him from in front and said, O Messenger of Allaah, I want to go for jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allaah and the Hereafter. He said, “Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?” I said, Yes. He said, “Go back and honour her (lit. stay by her feet), for there is Paradise.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah. It was also narrated by al-Nasaa’i with the words: “Stay with her for Paradise is beneath her feet.”
Al-Bukhaari (5971) and Muslim (2548) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, who is most deserving of my good company?” He said: “Your mother.” He said: “Then who?” He said: “Your mother.” He said: “Then who?” He said: “Your mother.” He said: “Then who?” He said: “Then your father.”
And there are other texts which we do not have room to mention here.
One of the rights which Islam gives to the mother is that her son should spend on her if she needs that support, so long as he is able and can afford it. Hence for many centuries it was unheard of among the people of Islam for a mother to be left in an old-people’s home or for a son to kick her out of the house, or for her sons to refuse to spend on her, or for her to need to work in order to eat and drink if her sons were present.
Islam also honours women as wives. Islam urges the husband to treat his wife in a good and kind manner, and says that the wife has rights over the husband like his rights over her, except that he has a degree over her, because of his responsibility of spending and taking care of the family’s affairs. Islam states that the best of the Muslim men is the one who treats his wife in the best manner, and the man is forbidden to take his wife’s money without her consent. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“and live with them honourably”
