Question 1

Do I pay Zakat on money I’m saving for something important?

akhtar · Accepted Answer

Yes, unless it’s an immediate need (like rent due next week). Saving for Hajj, a car, or a wedding still counts as wealth.

Question 2

Do I pay Zakat on my house or car?

akhtar · Accepted Answer

No. As long as they’re for personal use, you don’t pay Zakat on them.

Question 3

Is Zakat due on debt someone owes me?

akhtar · Accepted Answer

Yes, if it’s a strong debt (you expect to get it back), like a personal loan. If it’s doubtful or unlikely to be repaid, you don’t need to include it.

Question 4

What about gold I wear regularly?

akhtar · Accepted Answer

Yes. Unlike some cultures, Islamic rulings say Zakat is due on all gold and silver — even if worn daily.
