Zakat

Zakat

Zakat is not just a duty on those with wealth, but a right that the poor have over us – we are those who Allah says “those in whose wealth there is a recognised right for the needy and the poor” (Qur’an 70:24-25).

Zakat is based on the value of all of one’s possessions. It is customarily 2.5% (or 1/40) of a Muslim’s total savings and wealth above a minimum amount known as nisab.  Islam For Deaf uses Zakat to call to islam Dawah, (Fi Sabilillah) in Sign Language & also to support the Deaf poor community (Al-Fuqara). Providing access with interpreters for islamic events and programs. (Al-Mu’allafat al-Quloob)

 

Zakat Payment to Islam for Deaf Charity Organisation which provides essential Dawah to both muslims/non muslims from the Deaf & SEN Community.

Here we are referring to the fatwa of Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him) which says that it is permissible to donate zakaah to da’wah efforts. 

He was asked about donating zakaah to circles (halaqahs) for Qur’aan memorization, so that prizes may be given from zakaah to the students, as well as salaries for the teachers and drivers. He replied: 

Because zakaah has been prescribed to meet the needs of the poor and weak, and it has also been prescribed to support charitable causes such as giving to mukaatibs (slaves who have contracts of manumission with their owners), mujaahideen, those who are cut off and those whose hearts are to be softened towards Islam, this indicates that it is prescribed for charitable causes which lead to good outcomes and will bring benefits, goodness and blessing to the Muslims. Our Shaykhs have issued fatwas stating that it may be spent on da’wah and calling people to Allaah, and the means of da’wah such as essays, tapes and salaries for full-time daa’iyahs. That also includes spending it on charitable schools for Qur’aan memorization, because of the good effect and outcomes that they have, and to encourage people to memorize and follow Qur’aan. I think it is permissible to give zakaah to these people if there are no other organizations who are doing that, so that these religious activities will not cease.

And Allaah knows best.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another except that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah except that Allah raises his status.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2588 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلاَّ عِزًّا وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ 2588 صحيح مسلم كتاب البر والصلة والآداب باب استحباب العفو والتواضع
