Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1663/1326/L=1430)

If the wife owns nisab, she will have to pay the Zakah though she does so by selling jewels. As husband is not responsible of her salah, he is not responsible of her Zakah as well. Yes, if husband pays the Zakah happily for her, the Zakah will be valid.

Q. I am working in the Netherlands and would like to request you to kindly guide me for following question. I along with some of family members would like to start a student welfare fund from Zakat money. Where we are planning to collect our zakat money in a separate account and give to different deserving students (orphans etc.) for higher studies. But this will be a soft loan without any interest, service charges or time limitations. When candidate will start job, he has to return with 10 % of his salary. This returning money will be used for further students. In this case once money is gone from our pocket as for zakat, it will never come back but will be in circle for deserving students. Please let me know the Islamic value of above mentioned process. Is it allowed to do like this or not? Thank you very much in advance for your kind guidance. 1061 views
