What is the ruling on the zakah of mixed wealth?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My wealth has reached the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it, but my wealth is mixed because I used to trade in tobacco, then I repented to Allah and began trading in fruits. Then I remembered the origin of my wealth. What should I do? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
The haram (forbidden) wealth, which is from the price of the tobacco, should be estimated. If he knows the amount, he gives it in charity. If he does not know the amount, he estimates it to the best of his ability and gives in charity the amount he believes to be from the tobacco. In other words, he disposes of it by putting it into projects or giving it to those in need, in order to rid himself of it, along with repentance to Allah the Exalted and Mighty. Yes.
