Zakat Programme Notes (Hanafi)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Allāh Ta’ālā has, in numerous places in the Qur’ān Karīm, emphasised the obligation of Zakāt.
“And establish Salāh and pay Zakāt and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience]” (Ar-Rūm 39).

Nabī sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “Fortify your wealth by discharging Zakāt on it.” (At-Tabarāni).

Like Salāh has its specific times, rules, and regulations. Similarly, Zakāt also has its own laws and rulings.

-Zakāt vs Sadaqah.

-Who must pay Zakāt?

-Your Zakāt Date?

-Zakātable assets vs Non Zakātable assets.

-Calculating your Zakāt.

-Recipients of Zakāt.

-Tamlīk- A requirement for the validity of Zakāt.

-The Wakīl (Representative).

-Rectifying Zakāt of the past.
