Assalamualeikum
i was just wondering…when u give zakaat to someone…do u have to TELL them this this is zakaat money…or can u jus give it to them?..
cause in sum cases sum ppl wont take the money if u tell them this is zakaat.
we were asking a lotta ppl n sum ppl said u HAVE to tell them par sum said nahi u can jus give it to em its ok.
so i was kinda confused.
any help would be appreciated
thanx in advance

I always tell, cz I keep zakat monies separate from normal sadqa and khairaat. Kinda makes sense to me. And if someone doesn't want to accept zakat, I'd rather respect that as well.
par the question wasnt “does faisal unkil tell when he gives zakaat” :halo:
mere poochne ka matbal tha…r u allowed to tell? ..n even if we are…wat r we SUPPOSED to do…tell or not tell? :halo: …
n if we R…n we know falaan person wont accept if we say its zakaat…THEN can we not tell :halo:

There is something called "lieing by omission". Kabhi iss chirya kaa naam suna hai aap nay?
yeh meri thread hai…:halo: yahan sawal MEIN poochti hoon :halo:…koee or nahi…
haan koee jawab hai or aap jawab ki tarah dena chaaho usse to zaroor do :-)…
there is a difference between ZAKAAT and SADAQA....
SADAQA can be given to anyone but ZAKAT has its deserving people well-defined....
i always make sure to clarify that what is being given out is ZAKAT....
It is not neccessary to tell the payee that it is zakat money, but it is better to tell.
More important is ke you should know where you can give zakat.
For example you can not give zakat or sadqa to your masjid’s fund, which will be used for running expenses. Also you can’t give to non-muslims (although sadqa can be given to them)
The best disposal of zakat is to give it to your needy relatives, needy neighbors. If there is no one needy among them, then other muslims
Check out the details before giving your zakat.
