Q 3: Is it permissible for me to take Zakah (obligatory charity) in terms of grain or Dirhams? If I am offered Zakah without asking for it, should I take it?


A: If the income received from your possessions or work does not suffice you or those for whom you have to provide within the average expenses of the same standard of living in your community; it is permissible for you to take Zakah according to what is required to meet your needs. Otherwise, it is not permissible to take any Zakah. Further, if you are offered Zakah while being well-off, you should not accept it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
