The Ruling on the Zakah of the Family Fund
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ibrahim says: We have a family fund for our family, both the young and the old. Is there any zakah due on this fund and this collection?
Answer:
There is no zakah on it. The fund is merely a voluntary contribution; no one in the family is compelled to pay into it. Each person has the choice: if he wishes, he pays, and if he wishes, he does not. Yes.
