Hadith 71
۞
Hadith.1666 - Sama'ah narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said
"The specified right (al-haqq al-ma‘loom) is not part of Zakat. It is something you give from your wealth, if you wish, every Friday, or if you wish, every month. For every person of means, there is an obligation according to their capacity.
Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'If you conceal it and give it to the poor, it is better for you' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:271).
This is not part of Zakat.
As for al-ma‘oon (neighborly assistance), it is also not part of Zakat. It is the kindness you show, the loan you offer, the household items you lend, and the support you give to your relatives—it is not part of Zakat.
Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'And those who in their wealth acknowledge a recognized right' (Surah Al-Ma’arij 70:24).
This recognized right is separate from Zakat. It is something a person imposes upon himself, to be taken from his wealth and provided according to his capacity and resources."
1666 - رَوَى سَمَاعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
«اَلْحَقُّ اَلْمَعْلُومُ لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ هُوَ اَلشَّيْءُ تُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ كُلَّ جُمْعَةٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ كُلَّ شَهْرٍ وَ لِكُلِّ ذِي فَضْلٍ فَضْلُهُ وَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
« وَ إِنْ تُخْفُوهٰا وَ تُؤْتُوهَا اَلْفُقَرٰاءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ » فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ اَلْمَاعُونُ لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ هُوَ اَلْمَعْرُوفُ تَصْنَعُهُ وَ اَلْقَرْضُ تُقْرِضُهُ وَ مَتَاعُ اَلْبَيْتِ تُعِيرُهُ وَ صِلَةُ قَرَابَتِكَ لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
« وَ اَلَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوٰالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَعْلُومٌ » فَالْحَقُّ اَلْمَعْلُومُ غَيْرُ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ هُوَ شَيْءٌ يَفْرِضُهُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ فِي مَالِهِ وَ نَفْسِهِ وَ يَجِبُ لَهُ أَنْ يَفْرِضَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ وَ سَعَتِهِ ».
