A.An injection does not invalidate the test But any injection which is used in place of food should be avoided. Q84: ABOUT ZAKAH Will you please elaborate how zakah is to be paid and how much? Since I get paid from my job every 2weeks, may I pay this percentage out of each pay-check rather than once a year? Is it a percentage of my net or gross income? A.

I am sending you the August 73 issue of the Light from which you will understand that in Shi'a Sheri'ah currency notes or cheques etc., are not liable to Zakah. Zakah is wajib and is levied on cow, buffalo, camel, goat sheep, wheat, barley, date, grape, gold and silver. In gold and silver, it is necessary that they should be coins, reach the minimum weight (72 gram gold or 405 gram silver) and remain with you for one year without being changed with other coins.

As these conditions are not fulfilled in the case mentioned in your question, you are not liable to pay Zakah. Anyhow, if you want to help a poor Mu'min or spend money in the way of Allah, you may do so as "Sadaqa" without the Niyyat of Zakah. Q85: ZAKAH IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE How much should a fanner give as zakah? A. Zakah on agricultural produce is Wajib on the following items: (1) Grape, (2) Date, (3) Wheat and (4) Barley; and it is Mustahab on paddy.

If the produce is 847 kg, then Zakah is Wajib. if the produce was irrigated by rain or canal, then Zakah is 10% if it was irrigated by well or machines, than its rate is 5% If both methods were used then the rate is 7½ %. Q86: ZAKAH ON TRADE-GOODS I have a business into which I invest all my profits. Nothing is saved and kept apart. I pay Khumus regularly. I also give monef to various charities. Please tell me if I have to pay Zakah, and how? A. Here Zakah is not wajib.

But it is Mustahab to give Zakah on trade-goods. There are some conditions for it, important among them are the following:- That the total value of the goods is no less than the value of 405 gram silver or 72 gram gold at any time during the year. That the capital does not decrease during the year. If these two conditions are fulfilled then it is Sunnah to pay zakah on the whole trade goods at the rate of business was started.

Q87: HALAL AND HARAM EARNINGS MIXED If a person has earned his capital by Halal and Haram means together, can that capital be pure if Khums is paid from it? A.
