Tell us, O Shaykh, about some of the conditions of obligatory charity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding obligatory charity, Allah knows best. It is obligatory in trade goods, and there are other things in which it is obligatory.

The Shaykh : The question is not clear to me.

The questioner : What is called obligatory charity, meaning some examples of it or the matters in which it is obligatory?

The Shaykh :
Clothe the naked and ransom the captive. أكسوا العاري وفكوا العاني


The questioner : The topic.

The Shaykh : How is the topic? The answer to your question is the hadith in the Sahih:
Clothe the naked and ransom the captive. أكسوا العاري وفكوا العاني
The captive is the prisoner. So if Allah has made wealth abundant for a person and he sees a Muslim prisoner, it is obligatory for him to ransom him with his money. Likewise, if he sees a poor person naked, he must clothe him with his own money. This is an example of some of the obligatory charities.
