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?
