What Makes A Person Deserving Of Charity Or Zakat
Any person in need is eligible to receive Zakat. According to our Fuqaha, a person whose assets equal or exceed the Nisab threshold cannot receive Zakat. However, this is incorrect. It is the savings that determine Nisab, while assets such as a house, car, or savings for immediate needs are used to meet everyday requirements.
Thank you Dr. Irfan. What is the amount of savings that disqualify a person from receiving charity or Zakat? Does this rule apply to both Zakat and charity?
