So when people ask
about, can we give our Zakat
to building the sahabi and Islamic schools and
providing for them? And the answer is yes.
There are 8 categories,
the recipients of Zakat and the Quran in
Surat Altaq
Verse 60,
and one of them is fee sabiildah, in
the way of Allah. It is true that
many scholars say that this cause or the
recipients
of this, category of Zakah are in jihad.
Some of the scholars say the word
covers all,
ways or channels of good.
Some of them they say even if you're
limited to jihad,
there is jihad with weapons,
there is jihad with education, there is a
jihad with culture, there is jihad with breaking
up your children in an Islamic way. This
is the jihad.
Back home in our countries, there are governments
and ministries of endowments, salawqaaf, that provide for
masajid and Islamic schools.
But there's no one to provide for these
institutions
in the West except Muslims.
So in this case, yes, you can give
your zakah to masajid and to Islamic schools.
And inshallah, you will get the reward for
this.
Charity or Zakat is a proof of your
sincerity
because who cares if you pray 5 times
a day? Who cares if you pass your
whole life?
But if you give Zakat, this is a
proof as the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
says that you are sincere
in your faith and for your commitment to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and to the Muslim
community.
In this authentic hadith narrated by Bukayya Muslim
and reported by Abu Bayoh Abdul Lou Anbu
that the prophet
says that every single day, 2 angels come
down from heaven and one of them will
say, oh Allah,
those who give their zakah, those who give
their charity,
oh Allah, provide for them immensely,
in abundance.
But those who withhold, oh Allah, another angel
will say, oh Allah, don't put barakah in
their money. Because they withhold,
they don't give the riot of Allah
and they don't give the riot to the
people.
In another hadith narrated by Abu Rayla collected
by Al Nasai, it's an authentic hadith. The
prophet says
that iman
and stingy stinginess
and someone being stingy,
these two qualities they are they are not
together. They can never be together in the
heart of a servant of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. 1 or the other.
Either iman or stinginess
in in the part of the belief.
So Abu Hanifa visited
the man
who was on his deathbed,
and as the man kept looking at a
box to the corner of the house. And
when the man was about to die, he
said, O, Hanifa, I have collected 1,000 of
dollars throughout my life, but I never gave
him is a cut. Why is there is
a cut on this? So Hanifa got angry,
and he said, why did you collect this
money? If you are not providing for yourself,
you're living
like a poor, and you have all this
money, and you are not giving him the
zakat. Why did you collect this money? He
said, I collected it for hardships,
but I never
got the chance to spend the money. And
he died and they left the whole thing.
Then Abu Hanifa radiwar al Anhu said, this
is an example for everyone.
You collect
the money from halal and haram and you
don't use it and you die, and you
leave it behind.
What is this?
So this story is about Jauha, it's a
full glory character
back home. So he was on the roof
of his house in the 5th floor. So
a beggar came to the door knocked on
the door and he said, Jauha, come down.
He said, what do you want? I haven't
got all day. What do you want? He
said, please come down.
So Johar got down,
like, 700 stairs, and then by the time
he got down, he lost his breath. So
he said, what do you want, man? What
do you want? He said, give me something
in charity.
He said, what?
Charity what? He said, please give me a
charity. So Gohad said, please come with me.
You took him to the roof, 700 stairs
to the 5th floor and he said, okay,
you are asking for charity, Allah will give
you.
So the man said, why didn't you say
so down the stairs? He said, why didn't
you Juhai said, why didn't you ask for
a charity while while I wasn't on the
5th floor?
Why didn't you did you bring me all
the way down to ask for a salah?
But anyway, Alhamdulillah.
The question for yesterday,
if someone says to his wife, if you
go to your mom's for Iftar,
I will give you divorce.
She said,
I don't care. She got home to her
mom. She sent him a postcard with the
words what?
Baby.
Thank you in, Spanish. Goodbye in Spanish. Is
that a divorce or not? The answer is,
we ask the husband about his intention.
If he means divorce, then this is one
divorce, one count of divorce.
If he was just threatening,
then this is an oath. If she broke
his oath, then he will have to feed
10 poor people
or fast 3 days. He's breaking an oath.
It doesn't count as a divorce in this
case,
Yes. Assur Allah.
The
question for today,
If a man is rich, can he give
his poor mother,
part of the zakat? Can he give zakat
to his poor mother? If you know the
answer, email me before tomorrow [email protected]
and you'll give $20.
