Zakat is one of the important pillars of Islam. However majority of the Muslims are ignorant with regards to the history, conditions and rulings of Zakat. We have those who don't pay zakaat at all. We have those who give but don't give it the right way. And we have those who take zakat from people and distribute it in an unlawful way. All of this can be solved, if we educate ourselves from the Quran and Sunnah with regards to the rulings of Zakat. This course introduces the following topics:
- Definition of Zakat and importance of Zakat
- When was Zakat obligated?
- Category of people deserving zakat
- Rulings of transferring zakat from one land to another land
- Zakat should be distributed first come first serve.
- All portion of zakat can be given to a person who is need to fulfill his need
- Mistakes and bid'ah of those who use zakat to build masjid, pay for electricity etc.
