فقه الإمام القاسم بن سلام (رحمه الله) في أحكام الزكاة

Abstract

Praise and thanks are due to Alninghty allah and peace and prayer be upon our prophet Mohammed and his family and followers. Emam Alqassim was a coeval of many jurisprudents who were followers of the prophet Mohammed and he got from their knowledge. In addition, he taught many Islamic figures. The present study approves his importance to men of hadeeth as trustworthy. His jurisprudential opinions about almsgiving contribute in reviewing the precepts concerned with this basic element of Islamic system or religion for instance the precepts concerned with condition of thirty cows are to buy only one if they are less than thirty no need to pay this almagiving and the same is done with the case of 40 aged cows and also a case of 200 dirhams and the increase should be taken into consideration in paying almsgiving.Zakat ought to be payed from jewelries and tenders of commerce the trader has to check whether it is prolonged to a year. Emam Al Qassim assures the almsgiving (Zakat) on the unripe dates, grapes (utilized) as well as olive since it is considered as seeds and its oil is of benefit whereas the Zakat is not imposed on the loans till being delivered and then the loan become ordinary money; the same is regarded to immatures' and insanes' money. To sum up, the Zakat is imposed on everything whose origin comes from soil since it is of public utility to all poor people. We may supplicate and praise Allah and payers and peace be upon our prophet Mohammed and his family and followers.
