Question

According to the Qur'an only, how much are we supposed to give as Zakat?

Answer 1

It is permissible for a Muslim to save whatever amount of permissible money he wishes as long as he pays the Zakaat on it.

Allaah Says (what means): {And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allaah — give them tidings of a painful punishment.}[Quran 9:34]

Allaah Says: {Take, [O Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention )], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase.}[Quran 9:103]

"Zakaah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [Zakaah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allaah and for the [stranded] traveler – an obligation [imposed] by Allaah. And Allaah is Knowing and Wise." [Quran 9: 60]

Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) tells us how much to pay, and we are to follow what he(saw) says:

'Ali (r.a.) reported that the Prophet(p.b.u.h.) said: "There is nothing (due) upon you in gold until it reaches twenty Deenaars (equal to 85grams). Thus, if you have twenty Deenaars at the end of year, then there is half a Deenaar levied on it [as Zakaah]. Any additional amount will be calculated in this manner. There is no Zakaah on wealth until it has been owned for one (lunar) year." [Al-Bukhaari, Ahmad, Abu Daawood, and Al-Bayhaqi]
