Explanation
Income Zakat
A Muslim, when meeting the required conditions, must pay income zakat each year on all forms of income or salary earned for that year. In fact, the importance of paying zakat is evident in Islam itself, as it is the fourth pillar of Islam: The obligation to pay zakat (for those who are capable).
There are, of course, many benefits of being required to pay zakat. It brings benefits to both individuals and society at large. Among the benefits of zakat are:
- Helps in the development of the ummah and society, as the zakat collected is distributed to the needy, including the poor, orphans, and underprivileged students.
- Unites the ummah in economic matters, where everyone can discuss the best ways to progress together in wealth accumulation.
- Mewujudkan hubungan sesama insan di antara pemberi dan penerima zakat – walaupun pembayar zakat mungkin tidak bertemu para penerima zakat, namun dapat melihat pembangunan dan bantuan yang diberikan hasil daripada kutipan zakat
- Reduces jealousy among people and may even inspire the recipients of zakat to work towards their own wealth, so they too can contribute to the ummah through zakat one day.
- Instills a sense of responsibility within individuals, especially family heads
- Purifies wealth that may otherwise have elements of impurity by paying zakat.
- A way to thank Allah SWT for the blessings by paying zakat on the sustenance given.
- And many more.
Income Zakat Fatwa
Actually, there are two types of income zakat, where an individual may need to pay either one or possibly both if the nisab conditions are met.
The first type is salary zakat. Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Ugama Islam Malaysia Kali Ke-56 yang bersidang pada 7 Mei 2003 telah membincangkan ‘Salary Zakat and Its Rate‘. Hasil perbincangan, muzakarah telah memutuskan bahawa asas pengiraan zakat pendapatan dan gaji adalah berdasarkan kepada annual gross income and the zakat nisab imposed is 2.5% of the total income.
The second type is professional income zakat, which applies to individuals without a fixed job(freelance)and therefore do not earn a monthly income. Examples of such individuals include freelance consultants, book authors, event hosts, actors, and so on.
Bagi pendapatan professional, Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Ugama Islam Malaysia Kali Ke-31 dan Muzakarah Khas yang bersidang pada 9 Disember 1992 telah membincangkan “Salary Zakat & Professional Income Zakat“. Muzakarah telah memutuskan bahawa:
- Muslims can pay zakat on income from salary, and the Inland Revenue Board should provide a zakat rebate on the amount paid.
- Mandatory zakat to on the annual income of a professional as it falls under Business Zakat.
