Monthly Al Kawtharzakat-fitra


Question

A person has a lot of wealth so he pays Zakat by guessing. The amount of zakat that seems to come will always be paid more, not less. But he never calculates the exact amount of wealth. The thing to know is, if you pay Zakat in this way and if you pay more, will it be realized? 6589747385


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

In order to ensure that the zakat on all assets is collected, it is necessary to calculate all the assets thoroughly after the zakat year is over. It is not permissible to pay Zakat on the basis of conjecture alone without full calculation. Because if there is an estimate, there is a risk of less and the issue of fulfillment of the obligation remains uncertain. However, by actually collecting in this way, if two and a half percent or more of all the zakatable wealth is collected, then the sin of not paying zakat will be avoided. But if the zakat is less than one taka due to the guess, then the zakat of that amount will remain in his custody and it will be a sin not to pay the full zakat. Therefore, it is not valid to pay Zakat on the assumption of that person. Zakat should be paid after thorough calculation from the front. And will try to find out the exact amount of zakat of the past years. He will apologize in the court of Allah due to irregularities and laxity in performing the duties. 9842543831
