Rather, it must be paid as soon as a full year has passed over the wealth, unless there is a valid Islamic reason for delaying it. Zakah purifies the wealth and the soul, removes greed and miserliness, and brings blessing and growth. If it is withheld, it becomes a cause for the loss and destruction of wealth. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 First Question: What is the meaning of the statement of Allah, the Most High: “Take Sadaqah from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it”? (08:59 – 09:19) First Question (09:20 – 09:48) First Answer ✅ First Answer: - This command is directed to the Prophet ﷺ and also to the Muslim rulers after him, that they should collect zakah from the wealth of the rich. Zakah purifies the giver from greed and miserliness and purifies the wealth, while also causing it to grow and increase in blessing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Second Question: What is the ruling on giving the reward of good deeds to the deceased? (09:49 – 09:59) Second Question (10:00 – 10:23) Second Answer ✅ Second Answer: - The reward is in hastening to give zakah when it becomes obligatory, not in delaying it for Ramadan. However, it is permissible to delay it for a valid Islamic reason, such as waiting for someone more in need or someone entitled to receive it.
