Zakat Al-mal (Fulfilling your zakat obligation purifies your wealth and bring blessings to your enti

Zakah is a charity which, unlike Ṣadaqah , is an obligation that has to be given. Didsbury Mosque understands that Zakah being one of the five pillars of Islam, it is of the utmost importance to fulfill this obligation properly.

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ…
(And establish prayer and give zakāh)

The Zakah calculator takes the stress out of working out your zakah and helps make fulfilling this obligation simpler and easier. With this calculator you can quickly find out how much you need to give.

There are different types of assets the zakah is due upon. The assets that are liable for zakah are payable once the Niṣāb (minimum amount needed for zakah to become payable) are paid once a ḥawl is past.

A ḥawl is when a full lunar year passes starting from the date you had the minimum amount for your assets to become liable for zakah, without your wealth/ Zakatable assets falling under the Niṣāb.

In the UK the popular opinion is to follow the Niṣāb in accordance with the silver Niṣāb which amounts to 595 grams of silver (equil to 21 Ounces) to get today’s prices for silver please visit https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/silver-price/year/ounces/GBP/

The amount taken from your wealth/savings is 2.5%. Deductible liabilities such as loans should be considered when calculating your zakah.

Donate to Masjid Zakat payable projects. The zakatable projects have been approved by scholars such as:

• Sheikh Khalid al Hanafi – Vice President of the European Committee of Fatwa and Research
• Sheikh Abdulsalam al Majeedi – Leading Scholar
• Sheikh Ahmed al Jabir – Member of the Azhar Fatwa Committee

This will come under ‘fi sabilillah’ as mentioned in the verse on the categories zakah is payable to:

إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَٱلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلْغَـٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ
فَرِيضَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ

(Zakāh expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed for it1 and for bringing hearts together [for Islām] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allāh and for the [stranded] traveler – an obligation [imposed] by Allāh. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.)

 "By clicking on Gift Aid bottom the taxman will add 28p to every pound you give"

Please help your mosque, we can get an extra 25p  for every £1 you donate for your qurbani (at no cost to you) by selecting Gift Aid when you donate. 

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme available to charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs). It means they can claim extra money from HMRC.

The charity or CASC can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. That's as long as you’ve paid the basic rate of tax and make the donation from your own funds. That means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%, so you can give even more to the causes you care about.

Gift Aid is important for charities, and means millions of pounds extra go to the charity sector. Each time an eligible tax payer donates and forgets to tick the Gift Aid box, the charity misses out.

Are my donations eligible for Gift Aid?

A charity can claim Gift Aid when you make a monetary donation from your own funds and have paid UK Income and / or Capital Gains Tax during that tax year.

The amount of tax you pay needs to be at least equal to the value of Gift Aid the charity or CASC will claim on your donation(s).

If circumstances change and you no longer pay enough tax, it’s important to tell all the charities you support. If you don’t tell them and they continue claiming Gift Aid, you’ll need to pay any difference back to HMRC. For more details visit https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid#1

JazakumAllah kheir.
