Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He inquires about the verse in the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:
(24) And those within whose wealth is a known right (25) For the petitioner and the deprived -وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
[Al-Ma'arij 70:24-25]
.

Answer:
This is a description of the righteous; among their attributes is that Allah has established a right in their wealth, which is zakah, for the one who asks people and the one who does not ask, who is poor. So this is a right that Allah has made obligatory upon the rich for the poor in the wealth of the rich. In the other verse, and
within whose wealth is a known right (25) For the petitioner and the deprived -فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
[Al-Ma'arij 70:24-25]
, Allah the Exalted said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charityخُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً
[At-Tawbah 9:103]
,
by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah 's blessings] upon themتُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ
[At-Tawbah 9:103]
, meaning: call them to it. Yes.
