Dr. Yusuf al-Qardawi
Language: English | Format: PDF | Volume: I | Pages: 311 | Size: 2 MB
Among the most important books Dr. Yusuf al-Qardawi has written is the
present volume on fiqh az-Zakat. It is a study which deals in depth with
legal rulings and philosophy of zakat in the light of the Qur’an and
Sunnah.
Among the five pillars of Islam, Zakat is
the third after Tawhid and prayer. It is crucial to the financial and
political structure of every Muslim community. Yet, despite its pivotal
significance, it is the least understood of the basic practices of Islam
and indeed now plays little or no part in the lives of the vast
majority of Muslims. That fact makes this book a very important addition
to the literature available to English-speaking Muslims.
It covers every aspect of zakat in great
detail, studying those who are obliged to pay zakat, the amounts they
have to pay, as well as the types of wealth on which zakat must be paid.
It also deals with how zakat is collected, its connection to Muslim
governance and its relation to society as a whole. Fiqh az-Zakat is a
seminal work for all Muslims and an important reference book for
everyone interested in Islam.
