Assalamu'alaikum Ustadz, I want to ask. I work gold shop. Well, this is what I get that makes me upset, I keep thinking about it. The problem is, someone buys gold. I had an excess of IDR 77.500, but the cashier said I only got IDR 27.500 back. Initially the problem, the buyer wants to exchange rings. One ring was sold to buy a ring with a new motif. I have already counted the money, in essence the buyer must receive a change of IDR 77.500.

Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Ustadz, can the remaining zakat money that has not been distributed be divided until next year because some of it has not yet reached its haul? Please enlighten. Greetings, ANSWER: وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Bismillah... Perhaps what the questioner meant was about zakat mal, where the condition for issuing zakat mal is to reach nishab (the minimum amount that zakat must be issued from) and haul (one year has passed). The year in question is hijriyah or qomariyah, not AD. If one of the conditions is not met, then the property is not yet obligated to issue zakat. From Ummul mukminin Aisyah radliyallãhu 'anha, Rasulullah shallallãhu 'alaihi wasallam said: لا زكاةَ في مالٍ حتى يَحولَ ... READ MORE
