Zayd what Ni]\b was he would say £200. Thus Zaid has found out that<br />
he definitely has Ni]\b, and that Zak\h is Far} on him.<br />
Zayd now must calculate what 2.5% <strong>of</strong> his wealth is.<br />
He works it out thus,<br />
£12,140 /100 = £121.40 (this is one percent)<br />
£121.40 x 2.5 = £303.50 (this is 2.5 percent)<br />
Alternately he can also work it out as:<br />
£12,140 / 40 = £303.50 (this is 2.5 percent direct)<br />
Thus Zayd has successfully calculated that he owes £303.50 as<br />
Zak\h.<br />
MISCELLANEOUS POINTS REGARDING ZAK¬H<br />
*AW¬’IJ A%LIYYAH - ONE’S BASIC NECESSITIES<br />
Things that are <strong>of</strong> immediate or ongoing necessity are called one’s<br />
Basic Necessities, or *aw\’ij A]liyyah. <strong>The</strong>se are food, necessary<br />
clothing (for all relevant seasons and situations), shelter (one’s house),<br />
the tools <strong>of</strong> one’s trade or vocation, necessary household goods, and<br />
means <strong>of</strong> transportation.<br />
Money required for the purchase <strong>of</strong> basic necessities and, if renting,<br />
the payment due towards these at the time <strong>of</strong> calculating one’s Zak\h<br />
is not to be included in the assets upon which Zak\h is calculated.<br />
Being in possession <strong>of</strong> *aw\’ij A]liyyah does not affect eligibility for<br />
receiving Zak\h, whatever their value. Remember that extravagance<br />
in one’s *aw\’ij A]liyyah, as well as everything else, is detestable. <strong>The</strong><br />
Qur’\n condemns the wasteful as ‘the brothers <strong>of</strong> the devils’ (17:27).<br />
