Zakah of the donation box
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We have a box with my brothers and sisters, and we put equal amounts of money in it, and a year or more passes over it. Is there zakah on it?
Answer:
This depends on the purpose of this box. If the purpose is investment, seeking profit, then there is zakah on its capital and on its profits. But if this box is for helping the needy, and it is not invested, and nothing of it returns to the donors, meaning through investment or through profit, then its use is the use of zakah, and there is no zakah on it, because its use is the use of zakah, which is doing good to the needy. Yes.
