Hadith 1783

DarussalamSahihAl-AlbaniSahih

English translation

1783. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that the Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'âdh to Yemen, and said: "You are going to some people among the People of the Book. Call them to bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allâh, and that I am the Messenger of Allâh. If they obey that, then tell them that Allâh has enjoined upon them five prayers every day and night. If they obey that, then tell them that Allâh has enjoined upon them charity (Zakât) from their wealth, to be taken from their rich and given to their poor. If they obey that, then beware of (taking) the best of their wealth. And beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allâh.” (Sahih)

publisher commentary

a. Mu'âdh ﷺ was appointed as a governor of Yemen in the 10th year of Hijrah before the Farewell Hajj. One part of Yemen was under the governorship of Mu'âdh bin Jabal ﷺ and the other was under the governorship of Abu Musa Ash'ari ﷺ. b. 'Among the People of Book' means Jews. The larger population of Yemen at that time was Jewish. c. Zakât is due only from Muslims; as for non-Muslims they pay a tax instead of Zakât which is a fixed, more or less amount, according to the financial condition of each individual, and this tax is called Jizyah. d. Zakât is distributed only among the Muslim beneficiaries. From among the non-Muslims, only that non-Muslim may be given some from Zakât if there is a hope that he/she comes close to the Muslims, will have interests in Islam, and eventually will embrace Islam, such people are called "those whose hearts are to be reconciled."

Chapter 7

Paying Zakât Before It Is Due

Hadith 1795

DarussalamDa'ifAl-AlbaniHasan

Only female camels should be given and taken as Zakât on camels; a two-year-old male camel is allowed to be taken as Zakât if a female camel of one year of age does not exist in the herd, although the real due is a one year-old-female camel. In the case of possessing over one hundred and twenty camels, the camels will be divided into groups of either 40 or 50 and then accordingly two-year-old female camels and three-year-old female camels will be taken as Zakât. A two-year-old female camel is due for a group of 40 camels, and a three-year-old female camel for a group of 50 camels. For example: A herd of 130 camels would be divided into two groups of 40 camels and one group of fifty camels, 130=40+40+50. So one female camel of two years of age is due for each group of forty camels, and one female camel of three years of age is due for the fifty. Similarly, one hundred and forty camels will be divided into three groups as follows; 140=40+50+50; so one two-year-old female camel is due for the forty camels and two three-year-olds are due for the two groups of fifty camels. As one three year old female camel is due for fifty camels, there will be three female camels of three years of age due for possessing one hundred and fifty (50+50+50) camels. Four two-year-old female camels are due in Zakât for one hundred and sixty camels (40+40+40+40), respectively one three years old female is due if the camels are increased by ten (40+10) and became a group of 50. If the number reaches two hundred, then the owner may give four female camels of three years of age, or five female camels of two years of age.

Chapter 10

When The Zakât Collector Receives An Animal That Is One Year Younger Or One Year Older Than Required

Hadith 1800

DarussalamSahihAl-AlbaniSahih

Less than thirty cows and bulls are not subject to Zakât. A two-year-old cow is called Musinnah, which has broken two front teeth. When making account of Zakât for cows and bulls, they should be divided into groups of thirty or forty, then accordingly one-year-old or two-year-old calves should be taken as Zakât, i.e., one-year-old for groups of thirty and two-year-olds for groups of forty is compulsory. Thereafter, the following are to be given as Zakât; two one-year-old calves for sixty; a one-year-old calf and a one two-year-old calf for seventy; two calves of two years of age for eighty; three one-year-old calves for ninety; one calf of two years of age, and two calves that are one-year-old for a group of one hundred. [1] A female cow that has entered its third year. [2] A male cow that has entered its second year, and Tabi'ah is the female.

Hadith 1805

DarussalamHasanAl-AlbaniSahih

English translation

1805. It was narrated from Ibn Shihâb, from Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh, from his father, from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He (Sâlim) said: "My father read to me a letter that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had written about Sadaqât before Allâh caused him to pass away. I read in it: 'For forty sheep, one sheep, up to one hundred and twenty. If there is more than that — even one — then two sheep, up to two hundred. If there is one more than that — even one — then three sheep, up to three hundred. If there are many sheep, then for each hundred, one sheep.' And I read in it: 'Separate flocks should not be combined, and a combined flock should not be separated.' And I read in it: 'And a male goat should not be taken for Sadaqah, nor a decrepit nor defective animal.'"[1] (Hasan)

publisher commentary

Only one goat as Zakât is due on anyone possessing between forty and one hundred and twenty goats. Two goats as Zakât are compulsory on a flock between a hundred and twenty one, and two hundred goats. Only three goats are due in Zakât from a flock between two hundred and one and three hundred and ninety-nine; when this number becomes a complete four hundred, then four goats will be given for Zakât. After four hundred, one goat is given in Zakât for each hundred goats; there is no Zakât on goats which are left over after hundreds. e. A male goat is a special goat and is kept in the flock for breeding purposes; it has such importance because of it being dearer in price to the owner. Similarly, if an old animal with defects is given to the needy; it will affect the right of the recipient because he/she will not get full benefits from it. The principle is laid so that both the payer of Zakât and the beneficiary should not lose out.

a. The land captured during a war against disbelievers is the property of the Islamic state. A Muslim ruler has sole right to use the produce of this land for the benefit of the state and the people. b. Leasing out land on condition of sharing the produce; for example: instead of cultivating by himself the landlord gives the land to someone on contract that the produce of land will be shared between the landlord and the cultivator, fifty percent for each, or, less or more according to the agreed percentage. c. The aforementioned contract is allowed for date-palm orchards and vineyards. d. Trading deals and relations with a Dhimi (a non-Muslim who lives in a Muslim country and pays tax) and other non-Muslims, is allowed, provided no trading deal takes place contrary to Islamic law. e. The yield of fruits that are used fresh before being dried is estimated while the fruit is on the trees and plants; so after the fruits becomes dry the estimated amount of Zakât will be taken. f. Jews accused Ibn Rawâhah ﷺ of over estimating with the intention of bribing him to reduce the estimate, but he denied giving up honesty.

1822. It was narrated that Barâ' bin 'Azib said concerning the Verse: "And of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it."[1] "This was revealed concerning the Ansâr. At the time of the new date-palm harvest, they would take a bunch of dates that were beginning to ripen and hang it on a rope between two of the pillars in the mosque of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the poor Emigrants would eat from it. One of them deliberately mixed a bunch containing rotten and shriveled dates, and thought that this was permissible because of the large number of dates that had been put there. So the following was revealed about the one who did that: '...and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it'. Meaning do not seek out the rotten and shriveled dates to give in charity: '...(though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein.' Meaning, if you were given this as a gift you would only accept it because you felt embarrassed, and you would be angry that he had sent you something of which you have no need. And know that Allâh has no need of your charity.” (Hasan)

1840. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever begs when he has enough to suffice him, his begging will come on the Day of Resurrection like lacerations on his face." It was said: "O Messenger of Allâh, what is sufficient for him?" He said: "Fifty Dirham, or their value in gold." (Da'if) Another chain of narrators for the Hadith has been discussed by Sufyân (one of the narrators).

Hadith 1841

DarussalamSahihAl-AlbaniSahih

English translation

Nikāh linguistically means (to unite and to bring together). The real literal meaning of Nikāh is 'to have sexual intercourse'; and the metaphorical meaning of Nikāh is 'the bond of marriage'. The noble jurists defined Nikāh through various definitions, and one of these is: "Nikāh is such a bond from which the act of sexual intercourse becomes lawful, and the bond of marriage takes place with the words like: Inkāh or Tazwīj or other words derived from these roots." Nikāh is the Sunnah of our Noble Prophet ﷺ, as well as of the previous Noble Prophets ﷺ. As the statement of Allāh, the Originator, the High is: "Indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad ﷺ) and made for them wives and offspring." (Ar-Ra'd: 13:38) Nikāh is a compulsory duty for a person who is physically healthy and can afford the expenses of marriage and the living expenses of a wife; and also if he has the risk of indulging in adultery and other lustful desires which he is unable to get rid of even if he observes fasting. It is unlawful for such a person to marry who is physically unfit for marriage, or unable to afford the matrimonial expenses; or for he who wants to have a second marriage with the intention to oppress his first wife. If a person is naturally harsh and fears that he will be unjust with the wife after marriage; then marriage is disliked for such a person. The Nikāh is desirable for a person who is of moderate personality, he has no fear of indulging in adultery or other lustful desires, and he can afford matrimonial expenses.
