The Book Of Zakaah: A brief but nice booklet discussing Zakaah, those
items and amounts upon which it is due, and where it is to be spent.
Includes a few important fataawa related to Zakaah.
I wrote this treatise in order to
sincerely advise and remind [the Muslims] about the obligation of
Zakaah, a matter in which many Muslims have been too careless and
lenient. Many do not offer their Zakaah in accordance to what has been
legislated in the religion, despite its greatness and its being one of
the five pillars of Islam without which it (Islam) cannot stand. The
Prophet (PBUH) said: “Islam has been built (by Allah) upon five: The
testimony (Shahaadah) that none has the right to be worshipped except
Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (Laa ilaaha
ill‐Allah, Muhammad‐ur‐ Rasoolullaah); establishing Salaah, giving
Zakaah, Fasting (Sawm) the month of Ramadan, and performing Hajj to the
House [of Allah] (the Ka’bah).” (Bukhari and Muslim)
The fact that Zakaah is an obligation
upon the Muslims is one of the most apparent indications of the beauty
of Islam and the concern it has for its adherents. The benefits of
Zakaah are indeed numerous, and [it has been made obligatory] due to the
dire need of the poor amongst the Muslims.
