00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 
			If my workplace has overpaid me,
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 
			am I allowed to include
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 
			the extra amount in the zakat?
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 
			I give no if
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18 
			they've overpaid you,
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 
			and it's an error then it's your moral
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 
			duty to inform them. So let's say someone's
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25 
			salary is $2,000
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27 
			a month, you got paid
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 
			$3,000 a month and you do you did
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 
			not do overtime. This is not a bonus.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			Then it's your duty morally
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			to inform them that, excuse me, I got
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38 
			overpaid.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 
			And if they chose to pay you extra
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 
			without telling you then you're allowed to retain
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45 
			it. The believer
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46 
			is
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 
			true in word and trustworthy indeed,
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51 
			right?
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			You're not allowed to touch the extra money
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 
			until you've clarified its status.
