Fatwa #48689 February 2002United States of America

Do I need to pay my zakaat again?

Question

Assalam-o-aleikum, I sent my zakaat to a charity organization but it was banned and it?s assets frozen by US government at the end of Ramadhan (middle of December). I was thinking of putting a block on my check but before I could do that my check was cashed in early January although this organization was banned. Do I need to pay zakat again and if again the same amount or will I have to calculate again according to current rate of gold etc. JazakAllah Khair

Answer

Your Zakaat will have to be discharged again. The respective organization
will not be held responsible. (Ahsanul Fataawa vol.4 pg.299)

#9647Can Zakaat be paid at different times, as per the needs? Doesn't Zakaat is to help poor and needy and to improve their financial conditions, rather than just paying off at one time at the year end
#18277Does all Zakaat then fall into this date of discharge or would jewellery purchased on a date different from the above date need to be discharged one year from the date it was purchased?
#14631I go by the mid of Ramadhan as my year end for Zakat purposes. I bought a house on Islamic Finance. I have already paid 10% of the price as a booking deposit. I am expected to pay another 12% by end of December 2006.
