Question

I read a hadith in which it is mentioned that Rasulullah alayhi wasallam) had alregarding this wakaalat. Some Ulama are of the view that the officials of the organization are the wakeels of the Zakaat payers. This is the popular view. We too accept this view. Some Ulama believe that the officials of the organization are the wakeels of the poor. But this view is weak. 9) All our Akaabir Ulama who operated Madrasahs in Deoband, Jalalabad, Sahaaranpur, etc. are 'organizations' to whom the community (Sallallahu entrusts their Zakaat. The authorities of these Madaaris use the Zakaat according to their discretion in ways which ensures valid discharge of the Zakaat. 10) The view lowed Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha) to let an adult be sucked by her. Please explain this (mentioned in the article) that Zakaat may be given to students and Ulama even if they are rich is baatil. Regardless of their involvement in Deeni activities, they may not be given Hadith.

Answer

One of the greatest evils for Muslims in this era is the translation of Hadith books into English. As a result of these Zakaat if they are rich.

11) As long as the Zakaat is given to a reliable Deeni organization, not to modernist bodies consisting of juhala, the Zakaat will be discharged.

English translations just every Tom, Dick, Harry, Jane and Janet, seek to probe the Ahaadith and subject same to their personal opinion. Many Muslims have lost their Imaan as a result of this satanic practice.

The Ahaadith require tafseer by qualified Asaatizah and this is a matter of academic import. We lack the time for technical discussions. Fur-

you should devote the time thermore, the academic na- to tilaawat of the Qur'aan ture of tafseer is generally Shareef. Do not waste time beyond the grasp of lay- reading translations of people. Our advice is that Hadith books.
