What if an Ineligible Person Asks for Zakaat? – Dr Zakir Naik
Epi_19_14
Yusuf Chambers: What is the ruling on a person who asks for Zakaat that does not fall into the category of its recipients?
Dr. Zakir: If a person who is not eligible to receive Zakaat and he asks Zakaat the person who knows about it he should not give him Zakaat, just because he is asking if you know very well that he doesn’t fall in the category if he tells a lie and you don’t know anything and you give by mistake, Allah will accept your Zakaat. But if you know not only should you not give but you should also warn him that it’s a great sin as our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), its mentioned in
Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 2 in the Book of Zakaat Hadith no. 1474, the beloved Prophet said that
“Anyone who keeps on asking from people to increase his wealth on the Day of Resurrection his face will be without any flesh.”
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) also repeated in another Hadith, it’s a Hadith of
Sahih Muslim Vol. no. 2 in the Book of Zakaat Hadith no. 2266 where the beloved Prophet said
“Anyone who asks from people in order to increase his own wealth actually asks live coals of fire for himself and it will not benefit him in the Aakhira.”
There are several such Hadith, there is one more Hadith which is mentioned in
Sahih Muslim Vol. no. 2 in the Book of Zakaat Hadith no. 2255 where
“A person comes and he begs from the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah gives him some charity. Again he comes and he begs again the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) gives him charity. Again for the third time he begs, again the Prophet gives him charity and tells him that “a person who begs, if he does with a clean heart it will benefit him but if he does it veraciously, it is like a green ripe fruit.” The property is green and sweet, if a person begs with a correct intention, it will be good for him but if a person begs with a veracious mind, it will be a loss for him. And it is like a person who eats and he is never satisfied and the Prophet said the upper hand is better than the lower hand.”
And the messenger of Allah also repeats another hadith in
Sunan Abu Dawud Vol. no. 2 Book of Zakaat Hadith no. 1629 that
“During the farewell pilgrimage when the Prophet was distributing Zakaat, two young and robust men, they came and they asked that please give us Sadaqa, please give us Zakaat. The Prophet looked at them and he said that “there is no Zakaat for a rich man and a person who is healthy.”
That means they should work. They have got good healthy body, Allah has given them that means they should work unless what they work and they are not able to earn enough salary for their basic needs then it’s a different question. So based on this Hadith we realize that a person who is not liable for Zakaat should not have Zakaat and a person knows about it he should stop him from asking Zakaat.
