			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			Salatu was Salam ala Sayidina
mousseline while early he or sahih
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			Germaine another important point
about zakat that we must keep in
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			mind is that the payer of zakat
who it's due from, they must know
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:21
			that it's due upon them. And when
the Zakat is being given, they
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
			command or they order or they
instruct that it be given, for the
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			reason I mentioned this is that
sometimes you get somebody who is
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			now 21 years old, or 22. And they
realize that, hey, I should be
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			paying zakat. But they've been
making money since the 16, or 17,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			or 18. But in all of this time,
the father may have been paying
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			zakat on their behalf, but without
them knowing the father was maybe
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			looking after their money, the
great savings from childhood or
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			whatever. And when they became
barlick, because after you become
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			mature, right age of 1415, you're
supposed to pay Zakat is if you
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			have money beyond the nisab value.
We'll discuss the nisab in another
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			clip, but the main point here is
that the father knew but he didn't
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			discuss that with the child, the
son or daughter, he was just
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			taking the money out, that would
not be valid, because the son
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			didn't even know or the daughter
didn't even know that God was
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			necessary. That's why for all of
those, you'd actually have to all
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			of those years, you'd actually
have to pay zakat again, likewise,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			if the wife had some money, and
the husband was looking after it
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			or the other way around, and one
of them was just paying zakat
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			every year without telling the
other person and the other person
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			was didn't know about it or didn't
even mention mention it again does
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			it God would not be because that
God is a worship and worships need
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			an intention. So you need at least
that intention from the giver of
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			it not from somebody else. So
that's why whoever it is do from
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			must have made the intention. Now
once you make an intention, say if
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			I told my wife you give me you pay
my god for me, I tell my father,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			please pay my god for me. That's
fine. Right? That's fine. As long
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			as every year I've got the
consciousness that he's going to
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			pay for me and he's fine with
paying it for me. That's
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			completely fine. So may Allah
subhanaw taala make that easy?
