Defining the Rich Person in Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Oh, you who drink every day.
Answer:
One who has only enough food for the day is not rich; he is poor. He may go a day without finding food for his family, unless he has a source of income that makes him self-sufficient every day. That person is rich. If he has an income that brings him ten riyals every day, whether he is a blacksmith or a carpenter, and ten or twenty riyals are enough for him, then he is called rich and does not ask for charity.
