The Difference Between Sadaqah and Zakah in the Saying of Allah the Exalted: “Take from their wealth a sadaqah”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: Honorable Shaykh, is there a difference between sadaqah and zakah in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Tawbah 9:103]?
Answer : It appears that the noble verse refers to the obligatory sadaqah, because that is what must be given, whereas voluntary sadaqah is not obligatory. However, the generality of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) includes both zakah and voluntary sadaqah. Yes.
Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity
خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةًAnswer : It appears that the noble verse refers to the obligatory sadaqah, because that is what must be given, whereas voluntary sadaqah is not obligatory. However, the generality of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Sadaqah extinguishes the sin
الصدقة تطفئ الخطيئة
