Question
I run a small business besides teaching in a madrasa. After spending on family needs, at the end of the year, I usually have 10-15 thousand rupees left. Apart from this, I have no other assets. However, I have several books in my collection, including Arabic, Urdu and Bengali. The purchase price of which is about 1 lakh 75 thousand rupees. My question is, will zakat be obligatory on me because of those books? 9824127479
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
Zakat is not obligatory on you. And since the bibliography you have in your collection is for your study; Not for business, so zakat is not obligatory on it either. 9998385873
