As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Zakat - 6th Safar 1425 (28 March 2004)
Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radhiallaho anho): When Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) sent Muadh (Radhiallaho anho) to Yemen, he said (to him), "You are going to people of a (Divine) Book. First of all invite them to worship Allah (alone) and when they come to know Allah, inform them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers in every day and night; and if they start offering these prayers, inform them that Allah has enjoined on them, the Zakat. And it is to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to the poor amongst them; and if they obey you in that, take Zakat from them and avoid (don't take) the best property of the people as Zakat."
