Aoa , I know a person in Pakistan who is under going dialysis treatment . He is a government retired person who doesn’t have much savings . He is sharing a house with his brother which is not his own property . He has a small apartment which is rented besides a small amount of pension and some funds invested here and there . His wife doesn’t own any gold . His treatment for his illness is quite expensive . Can he be helped through zakat money ?
بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
الجواب وباللہ التوفیق
In answer to your question:
1. if the person is “Sahib-e- Nisab”, that is, he owns seven and a half tolas of gold or fifty-two and a half tolas of silver, or has in his possession other than the above-mentioned apartment, gold, silver, cash or merchandise, to the extent that fifty-two and a half tolas of silver can be purchased with it, It is not permissible to give Zakat to him.
2. But if those things are in such quantity that fifty-two and a half tolas of silver cannot be bought with those articles of value, then it is permissible to give Zakat to that person.
3. If he is not eligible for zakat but is however unable to afford his treatment with his available resources, and the treatment has become a necessity, then he should take a loan from someone, in such an amount that renders him eligible for zakat. He can then spend the borrowed money on his treatment. Since he has now become eligible for zakat, he should be given Zakat and he must pay his debt with that zakat money.
