  • Zakah from salary and EPF: issues and challenges

    • Authors: Ismail Abdel Mohsin, Magda; Lahsasna, Ahcene; Ismail, Ezamshah (2011)

  • The beginning of the 1980's witness a new approach of collecting zakah on monthly bases in some of the Muslim countries such as Sudan, Pakistan and Malaysia. At first, this creates an ambiguous situation amongst Muslim scholars as to its legitimacy, since the payment of zakah is known to be given on annual bases and once it reaches the nisab (the minimum assigned). Recently, a consensus has been given amongst contemporary Muslim scholars that it is lawful to pay the zakah on monthly basis. Malaysia is one of the countries that start implementing zakah deduction on monthly basis through participating in a scheme called the Salary Deduction Scheme. This raises the question on some of th...

  • Zakat & women: from receiver to givers

    • Authors: Aishath Muneeza (2021)

  • Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. Zakat received from eligible persons is paid to the legal recipients of it, as mentioned in the Qu'ran (9:60). The legal recipients of zakat are of eight categories and there is no priority given to a specific gender. As long as the person falls within any category of the 'legal recipient' irrespective of gender, the person is eligible to receive zakat. Against this backdrop, this article focuses on how zakat could be used to empower women who are eligible to receive it.

  • Zakat - the power of alleviating poverty

    • Authors: Ismail Abdel Mohsin, Magda (2020)

  • The recent statistical data on poverty shows that most of the people who live below the poverty line are found in Muslim countries. For example, the total population who are living below poverty line in Algeria is 25%, in Egypt 25.2%, in Bangladesh 26%, in Syria 35.2%, in Afghanistan 35.8%, in Pakistan 36.3%, in Nigeria 46%, in Sudan 46.5%, in Chad 46.7%, in Senegal 46.7%, in Yemen 54% and in Somalia 73%. Some scholars relate this poverty to the oppression, humiliation and bad policies which had been imposed in almost all Muslim countries during colonization and have continued up to the present time. Others relate this to the incompetence and the corruption on the part of their govern...

    • Authors: Said Bouheraoua; Sa'id Adekunle Mikail; Riaz Ansari (2016)

  • This research examines the issue of zakah on non-current banking debts within its theoretical framework. The main problems dealt with are the conflicting contemporary juristic opinions on the issue of zakah on non-current banking debts as well as the conflicting ways that these opinions have been implemented. This makes it necessary to pinpoint the most important causes for the controversy and to identify the weightiest opinion on the matter. The study begins by defining non-current banking debts and identifying their most salient characteristics. It then undertakes an explanation of the classical scholarly controversy regarding zakah on debts which are not yet due. The authors have c...

  • Zakat calculation software for corporate entities

    • Authors: Mezbah Uddin Ahmed; Noor Suhaida Kasri (2021)

  • Ensuring socio-economic justice, eradication of poverty and equitable distribution of wealth are among the primary objectives of Islam. Even so, a significant number of Muslims around the world are deprived of their basic needs. The scenario only worsens in times of financial and political turbulence. There is a desperate need to find sources of funding to rescue people from their miseries and offer sustainable solutions. Zakat has great potential to meet the funding needs. This chapter argues that zakat contributions will be amplified if corporate entities pay zakat as legal persons or on behalf of their Muslim shareholders. This chapter proposes development of a zakat calculation so...

  • Zakat in Islamic wealth management

    • Authors: Mahomed, Ziyaad (2017)

  • The common understanding of investments is to manage wealth such that there is wealth increase with rare losses of the starting value to compensate wealth holders (i) against inflation via risk-free return and (ii) plus a risk premium for the risk of the investment. It thus has the twin objectives of growth in wealth and preservation of wealth. This is achieved by means of a planned strategy that defines the goals of the investor. Wealth management includes the following: to achieve maximum growth with minimal risk (or maximum growth for a target level of risk); to manage risk as far as is possible to minimise taxation and other costs to receive a consistent income; to have a consiste...

    • Authors: Ziyaad Mahomed (2021)

  • Central Asian nations have been independent for almost three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Colloquially known as the 'stans', these Muslim-majority nations (more than 85% Muslim) include Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan with a collective population of approximately 72 million. Religious practices are slowly emerging after decades of religious censorship, with at least a generation having lived under Soviet socialism. Economically, these Central Asian countries have suffered setbacks from the COVID-19 shock, emanating from an over-reliance on commodities such as oil revenue, migrant labour, low levels of diversification and inef...

  • Zakat, Islamic wealth management & wealth effects

    • Authors: Ziyaad Mahomed (2016)

  • The purification of wealth through charity is considered a significant part of the trusteeship of wealth or wealth management. In the Quranic verses 17:26-27 & 29-30, Almighty Allah clarifies the right that the deserving and the needy have over the wealth entrusted to man, further instructing that these rights be fulfilled as a financial obligation. For example, hoarding excessive wealth (wealth that is not invested) is actually irrational as zakat is charged on all financial and real assets, resulting in a negative rate of return (zakat rate) Al-Jarhi (1985).
