Zakaat and Charity
Q: When I got married I was gifted lots of gold jewellery. However, I do not have an income, hence cannot afford Zakaat. What do I do? Do I sell the jewellery? My husband cannot afford to pay Zakaat as well.
Q: I am somewhat perplexed by the determination of Zakat. Particularly the holding period for an investment or cash asset.
Q. Can we give zakat or fitra to non-Muslims who are needy?
Q: Is it permissible to discharge Zakaat on one’s Zakaatable wealth before the expiry of one complete lunar year?
Q: Can Zakaat be given to one’s paternal uncle (father’s brother) if he is eligible to receive Zakaat?
