Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, regarding obligatory charity; may Allah know, it is obligatory in trade goods, is it obligatory in other things?
The Shaykh : The question is not clear to me.
The questioner : What is called obligatory charity; I mean, some examples of it, or some examples or matters that are obligatory, I mean?
The Shaykh : .
The questioner : Yes, is it a topic?
The Shaykh : How is it a topic? The answer to your question is the hadith in the authentic collections:. The captive is the prisoner. So if a man whom Allah has provided for abundantly sees a Muslim prisoner, it is obligatory for him to ransom him with his wealth. Likewise, if he sees a poor man who is naked, he must clothe him with his own wealth. This is an example of some of the obligatory charities.
The questioner : So regarding obligatory charity, there are many other matters, for example, a person might need to study the details of obligatory charity, and the matter might become lengthy for him, for example; is it possible to enumerate them, or is it too difficult to enumerate them?
The Shaykh : Of course, it is difficult, because it is not possible to enumerate the matters that arise. But the general principle is that anything that is obligatory for the Muslim, and there is no way to fulfill this obligation except with wealth, then that wealth is obligatory to spend.
The questioner: Yes.
I heard one of the brothers say once that, for example, some of the blessings that Allah bestows upon a person, one gives charity from a part of them as obligatory charity, even if he did not mention that... some matters. I thought that he heard this matter from you, I mean.
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : Yes. I mean, just to clothe the naked, to free the captive, for example?
The Shaykh : What... .
The questioner : No, I mean, my intention is...
The Shaykh : As an example.
The questioner : As an example, yes, I mean, the matters that arise, the events that arise, one addresses the needs as much as possible and...
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
...
The Shaykh : ...necessary, but it is a return to the divine creation, completing the perfection of the human being, as He said - Mighty and Majestic - in the Qur'an:[At-Tin 95:4], so He permitted [jewelry] even though gold is forbidden for men; likewise, where He permitted [jewelry] for women, He forbade them certain types, so this is how the texts must be treated.
