Mukireen hadith dispute the percentage of zakaat, 2.5%

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

i wanna ask something about the percentage of Zakaat…. some people said (i.e. munkireene Hadees) that the percentage of zakaat is not restricted to 2.5%, it may be change(increase or decrease) according to circumstances, and they also said that it was happened in the time of Rasoolullah(saw) and Sahaba(rta). Please clearify about this issue and inform me if it was happened in the time of Rasoolullah(saw) and Sahaba(rta) [specially Khulfa-e-Rashideen].

Answer

The objection is raised from the Munkreen-e-Hadith (rejectors of Hadith). Accordingly the Zakaat related issue is secondary. The authority of Hadith is the primary issue. It is only then the answer to Zakaat related issue will be useful.

The Munkireen-e-Hadith made a claim. It is up to them to substantiate their claim. We will await a response from them. We will also be eager to enter into a discussion on the authority of Hadith with them.

I have a question regarding the Islamic perspective on infertility treatments. Many couples these days are having trouble bearing children and going through the emotional roller coaster that comes with infertility. Of course the first step is to pray to Allah (swt) for his mercy. In addition to prayers there are medical treatments such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) that are available. These treatments involve taking drugs and fertilization outside of the womb. Since many couples are going through infertility, we would like to know what Islam says about IVF. Please can you let us know if you have any advice or information.

I consider myself as a Deobandi and follow the ulamaa of Deoband. I also know that the work commonly known as “tableeghi Jamaat” is started by a great sufi of Deoband. I go in the jamaat also but rarely, my question is (1)Why do some tableeghi brothers insist on saying that “Daawah” is more important than “Ibaadah”. Isn’t it true that Dawaah is a part if Ibaadah and not the opposite. (2)They keep saying that the only reason we were created is to do Dawaah, isn’t it a fact that we are not only created for dawaah but also for all the Ibaadaas put together. (3) I have met a few tableeghi brothers who were of the opinion that in this day and age it is a farz-e-ain (not farz-e-kifaaya) to work in the tableeghi jamaat.
