Is Zakat Due If Jobless While Starting New Business?
I’m not a religious expert, but if I would be you I will pay my zakat. No one would know the future. So obviously it cannot be predicted what will happen in future to any human being. I don’t want to die with debt of zakat on my shoulders, as I don’t know when will I die. So I would prefer to die empty handed rather than having debt of Zakat on my shoulders. This will be my approach. Obviously you can think differently. No western government allows you not to pay the tax if you have taxable income or amount in your bank on your future predictions. So same rule applies here. This is my understanding of the Law and situation. Regards.
