Give Your Zakat (Right of the Poor) Before Year-End - December 26, 2006 PDF Print E-mail


As the end of the year is approaching, many of us have not yet calculated or paid our Zakat (Alms).  Hidaya Foundation (www.hidayatrust.org) has compiled information regarding Zakat such as:

• Why should you pay Zakat and who is required to pay Zakat?  What kinds of things require paying Zakat on them?

• What is the principle of joinder of acquisition in the same class during the lunar year?

• How much should you pay on wealth such as: stocks, mutual funds, stock options, business merchandise inventory, retirement plans (401k, IRA, etc.), real estate investments, life insurance, & severance package

• Liabilities which may be deducted and what kinds of things do not require paying Zakat?

• How should you calculate Zakat and who is entitled to receive Zakat?
