Question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asalaamu Alaikum<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How would an individual or company\nthat provides services and sales calculate its Zakah specifically on revenues\nnot yet received? Please note that some invoices are specifically for items\nsold, some specifically for labor and services and some a combination of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Name of Allah, the\nMost Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As-sal\u0101mu \u2018alaykum\nwa-rahmatull\u0101hi wa-barak\u0101tuh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before answering your question it is\nimportant to understand two factors;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, Zakah is only levied upon\nZakatable Assets. Zakatable assets are of two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (i) Cash\/Gold\/Silver, once in the\nownership of a person Zakah will be levied upon the owner regardless of his\nintent (e.g. to buy something, to save, to build a house, go for Hajj, to be\ngiven to children, for charity, etc.), it does not matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (ii) Items for trade, whatever item\npurchased with the intent of resale is a Zakatable asset regardless of its\nworth provided that the item is permissible according to the Shariah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Secondly, Receivable loans\/debts\/revenues\nwould only be considered a Zakatable Asset if owed to the individual or company\non account of any of these two types of Zakatable Assets i.e. through loaning\nof cash or sale of goods (this is referred to by the Jurists as strong receivable\nloans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, as for your query, the\nreceivable revenues due to services and labour would not be subjected to Zakah\nas it is considered as a weak debt. Only the revenues owed to due to the sale\nof commodities will be subjected to Zakah. As for the invoices that have a\ncombination of both services and sales, then only the portion which amounts to\nthe sale of items will be subjected to Zakah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, once these\nnon-Zakatable revenues (i.e. due to services and labour) are collected and are\nin one’s possession at the end of his Zakatable year it will be subjected to\nZakah by virtue of the first type of Zakatable Asset i.e. Cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And Allah\nTa\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mufti Kaleem\nMuhammad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Darul Iftaa, Jaamia\nMadinatul Uloom (Trinidad)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n www.fatwa-tt.com<\/strong><\/a> \/<\/strong>www.jaamia.net<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062d\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0627\u0626\u0642 \u0634\u0631\u062d \u0643\u0646\u0632 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0642\u0627\u0626\u0642 \u0648\u0645\u0646\u062d\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062e\u0627\u0644\u0642\n\u0648\u062a\u0643\u0645\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0648\u0631\u064a (2\/ 224)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0642\u0644\u062a: \u0648\u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0635\u0631\u064a\u062d \u0641\u064a \u0623\u0646\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0648\u0627\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0648\u0644\u0649\n\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0639\u064a\u0641 \u0648\u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0638\u0627\u0647\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0648\u0627\u064a\u0629 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062a\u0648\u0633\u0637 \u0644\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0648\u064a\u061b \u0644\u0623\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0646\u0627\u0641\u0639 \u0644\u064a\u0633\u062a \u0645\u0627\u0644 \u0632\u0643\u0627\u0629\u060c\n\u0648\u0625\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0646\u062a \u0645\u0627\u0644\u0627 \u062d\u0642\u064a\u0642\u0629 \u062a\u0623\u0645\u0644<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Asalaamu Alaikum How would an individual or company that provides services and sales calculate its Zakah specifically<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-zakat-and-sadqah"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
