Question:
1)Can one give zakat to afriend who has 3 kids, is very poor although
he has a job, and is needy? Instead of giving the Zakat to a Zakat
organization?
Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
Zakat is for poor or needy individuals who fulfill the criterion --
namely, not possessing a net zakatableamount once their immediate
needs and all debts are deducted --
Zakat organizations merely act as our agents (wukala', pl. of wakeel),
to assist in the process of getting the money to those poor or needy.
2)A popular question, that's been answered before: Can I just give
Zakat on the amount I have in my account after awhole year, regardless
of the drops and inclines thathappened during the year?
Yes. There are 3 issues:
a) zakat becomes due onceyou have possessed a zakatable amount for one
lunar year;
b) the zakat year starts once you possess a net zakatable amount;
c) zakat is due at the end of this year, on the amount you have at the
end of the year, regardlessof any fluctuations during the year, and
regardless ofwhen you acquired different amounts of the money and
wealth during this year. (So, if your grandfather gave you 100,000
Euros a day before your zakat year ends, adding to the 5,000 Euros net
zakatable amount you had before that, you will have to pay zakat on
the final 105,000 Euros.)

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
