Ruling on not returning small pieces of fabric to their owners
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In addition to her previous question, she says: Is it forbidden for me to throw the small scraps of fabric I discard with the trash?
Knowing that if the piece is large, I return it with the fabric to its owners.
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the owners do not want the piece, there is no blame on you. However, if you are in doubt, return it to them so they can deal with it. But if you know that they want to destroy it and leave it in the trash, there is nothing wrong with that.
As for zakah, you do not owe zakah. You do not owe zakah if the money is spent on the needs of the house and does not remain with you for a year.
However, if money remains with you for a year and it reaches the nisab, you owe zakah. On this basis, if you have, for example, one thousand riyals that remain with you for a year and you do not spend them, you must pay its zakah, which is one-quarter of a tenth, twenty-five from a thousand. But if the wages are spent at the time they are received, or after that time, but do not remain for a year, you do not owe zakah, unless money from this sewing accumulates to reach the nisab and a year passes over it, in which case it is subject to zakah. The minimum nisab is fifty-six silver riyals, or the equivalent in paper currency. Yes.
