Assalam u Alekum Shaik.
Alhamdulliah we have a large family of over 500 members & We have a family fund where most of the members contribute some amount monthly. The intention of the fund is to be used for Medical Emergencies in family if some one needs it.
Elders are suggesting that we should also include other needs like Marriages, Clearing Debts, Fees & Business lone to needy members.
Question is - Can we give/ take Zakat in such a fund.

Assalamualaikum,
I live USA. It is impossible to buy house here with all cash unless I save money for long time which could take 5-10 years. I sincerely want to avoid taking interest paying loan to purchase house. But if I save money and pay zakat 2.5% every year, after 10 years I would loose significant portion of that money.
In this circumstance, if I am saving money for sole purpose (let's say keep money designated ONLY for the purpose of buying house) to buy home in order avoid interest loan, do I have to pay zakat on that saving money that are designated to buy house and not for any other purpose?
Zajakallah,
Hossain

Recently, I have bought a house present valued $250,000 from Islamic bank in Australia. I have to pay say $1500/month for 30years. I have some cash in bank say $40,000 in abroad. We have some gold as well. The total value in bank and gold is less then 250,000(house value) need to pay. Should I have to pay jakah? if yes on which amount?

Asalaamualaikum
My wife and I live with our children in Australia. My wife's family live in South Africa. My 45 y.o. brother-in-law is severely disabled with cerebral palsy needing high level nursing care since birth. He is at the level of a 10 month old child, he is blind, cannot talk and is completely bedridden, his limbs are contracted into fixed positions , he has severe scoliosus(curvature of the spine) and needs high level 24 hr care which was provided by my mother in law almost exclusively. She suddenly passed away 2 months ago. They had been living with my other brother in law who had been maintaining them . My father in law lives a couple of hundred km's away and is elderly, not well off and has poor health. His capability and temperament restricts his ability to contribute. I have undertaken to provide financially for my brother in law . This is for health costs, the provision of a full time live in carer, and the building of a self contained unit for that person. With good care he is expected to have a normal life expectancy (another 30 years) inshallah.
I was wondering if it is possible to pay for these expenses with my zakaah money?
Jazakallah Khair

Assalamualaikum. Defence Services Officers Provident Fund is a fund where an officer has to deposit some amount of money from his salary every month. Its compulsory. The money remains with the government and government gives a good percentage of interest on the deposit. Though money remains for the officer, but it never comes to his hand until the end of his service. In between, if some one wants to draw some amount of money, he has to give back the same with even a higher percentage of interest. now, my question is, the interest that the government is giving, is it hallal or haram? The second question is, is the deposit of money subjected to zakaah?

Salaams,
Please can you clarify below..
1. I pay into a company pension scheme where my deductions are compulsory, i have to pay into it monthly and my employer makes a contribution monthly too. Do i need to pay Zakaat on this?
2. Do i need to pay zakaat on money i have lent to someone? or does the person who has borrowed the money from me have to pay zakat for it. e.g i have lent a family member 10000 pounds to help him in his business, i dont need this money so dont ask for it however he has had the money for maybe 2 years or so, and he will pay me once he gets comfortable in his business or if i need it in an emergency?

I am considering on taking a student loan which is upto ten thousand pounds and you only have to pay it back after you graduate from university and have a job in which you earn over fifteen thousand pounds.
So would i be consirded in debt and not have to give zakah, or do i have to give zakah because it is not certain that i will get a job which will relieve from paying the debt?

I have some money I saved for Hajj. The lunar year has been completed on this money but I have to give this money now for Hajj and I also need to keep some money for expenses such as food during Hajj. Now do I have to pay Zakaah on that money or I deduct the money left aside for Hajj and pay the zakaah on the money left ?
Jazak-Allah khair.

assalamualaikum. recently i came to know that there is no zakaah for diamond or precious stones. i also came to know that alims are divided in deciding if there is zakaah for ornaments that is worn by women. pl clarify whether there should be zakaah on overall gold stock or only on those that is stored as wealth.
