Rulings on Zakat and Financial Assistance

Is Zakat only obligatory on gold that is 7 tolas or more? If someone has even one masha less than that, Zakat is not mandatory for you. This is a special mercy from Allah. You should certainly give voluntarily, but it is not an obligation; give out of your own desire, as He is the One who appreciates your deeds. Can Zakat money be given for the construction of someone's house? Your uncle's house has burnt down and he is rebuilding it. If he falls under the category of the needy (Miskin)—those whose needs are not met by their income and who cannot match the living standards of society—then Zakat can be given to help him. May Allah Almighty accept your noble intentions, charity, and offerings. Ameen.
