I bought a truck for 40,000 and spent a lot of expenses on it, so is there zakah due on it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My master, may Allah be pleased with you, listen to me carefully. I came from Kuwait and bought a truck for forty thousand, do I have it with me?
The Shaykh : With you.
The questioner : I came, my master, I paid zakah on the forty thousand, I paid it for them when I bought the truck in the Ramadan that passed, may Allah prolong your life. And my master, this truck works, but my master, we get shocks, we fix the mechanics, we fix the electricity, we fix the metal, I spend on myself and my children, meaning I did not save from Ramadan to the last year to this year's Ramadan one hundred dinars, except it was all expenses. I do not know the opinion of the religion, what does it mean, does zakah come out on it or not, I do not know.
The Shaykh : Nothing comes out on it.
The questioner : Nothing comes out on it, because I did not save anything, by Allah, my master.
The Shaykh : Rest your mind, rest your heart, nothing comes out on it.
The questioner : Nothing comes out on it; because there are people who tell you.
The Shaykh : Rest your heart, that is it, nothing comes out on it.
The questioner : I will not ask you again.
The Shaykh : Not at all.
The Shaykh : With you.
