Zakaat
Definition
Islamic terminology: The portion of an individual's wealth that has exceeded nisaab (minimum of oned wealth liable to Zakaah) and is designated for the 8 recipients as mentioned in the Qur'aan.
Ruling of Zakaah
It is the third pillar of islam after shahaadah and salaat and is compulsory as mentioned in the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Anyone rejecting Zakaah as compulsory is a kaafir(disbeliever) and a murtad (one who rejects Islam after acceptance).
Qur'aan:
"And establish prayer and give zakaah..."(24:56)
"Take sadaqah from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it..."(9:103)
"Pay the due (zakaah) thereof on the day of its harvest..."(6:141)
"And those in whose wealth there is a known right. For the beggar and the deprived (one who lost his property and wealth)" (70:24-25)
Sunnah:
a. When Allah'a Apostle (PBUH) sent Muadh to Yemen, he said (to him) "You are going to people of a (Divine) Book. First of all invite them to worship Allah (alone) and when they come to know Allah, inform them that Allah has enjoined on them, the Zakaah. And it is to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to poor amongst them...." (Hadeeth of ibn Abbas recorded by the group - Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Daud, ibn Majah, and annasaaee.)
b. Ibn Umar (R) heard the prophet (PBUH) say: "I have been ordered to fight people until they say that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is his Messenger, and they uphold the prayers, and pay the zakaah. If they do this, their lives and properties will be safe, except for what is due to Islam, and their accounts are with Allah (Bukhari and Muslim)
