What is meant by your statement in the previous answer: “(he gives it out of it itself)”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Second, you stated that the correct view is that it is taken from the words of Allah
He has succeeded who purifies it قد أفلح من زكاها
Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity خذ من أموالهم صدقة
[At-Tawbah 9:103]
within whose wealth is a known right وفي أموالهم حق معلوم
[Al-Ma'arij 70:24]
, which is what links social solidarity between the rich and the poor.

The Shaykh : Well done.

The questioner : And you say that he gives it out of it itself; do you mean by “out of it itself” that he does not appraise it in money and give it from the item itself?

The Shaykh : Here I have a detailed explanation. I say that some of the goods are given as the item itself because the poor person does not do without something like it, while others cannot be given to the poor person, in which case they are appraised and the poor person is given the value. For example, suppose a car dealer and a millionaire; he may be obligated to give not just one car, but cars. Who does he give them to? The poor person. The poor person does not need a car. So he appraises the portion that his soul is generous with, which he thinks purifies and purifies his soul, and then he distributes it among the poor and the needy within the limits of what he knows. So there are two categories: one category needs to be distributed to the poor and the needy, and they do not need to sell it to benefit from its value; and the other category, as we mentioned, is appraised and the poor and the needy are given the value of these goods, not the goods themselves.

The questioner : Okay, a question.
