How can a married couple perform the obligation of Zakat on their constantly changing wealth, clarifying which types of wealth are subject to Zakat and which are not, and is it permissible to give Zakat to the mentioned needy relatives, and what is the ruling on calculating Zakat at Eid al-Fitr, and is the price of the sacrificial animal considered part of Zakat?

1. Zakat (definition) is one of the pillars of Islam. The husband must promptly pay it when the nisab (definition) is reached and a full year has passed. Repentance is required for delaying its payment, and it must be paid for past years if it was not previously given. The nisab is equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver, and the zakat amount is 2.5%.

2. Auto parts are trade goods that are to be valued and Zakat paid on them. Money earned from work is subject to Zakat as acquired wealth. The house where the mother lives and gold prepared for adornment are not subject to Zakat, unless the house is for trade or the gold is not for adornment and has reached the nisab.

3. The recipients of Zakat are specified in the Quran. It is preferable to give it to deserving relatives, while reviewing the ruling on giving it to someone who owns gold.

4. It is permissible to pay Zakat in a specific month, such as Eid al-Fitr, provided that this is at or before the completion of the hawl (full year). The price of the sacrificial animal (for Udhiyah (definition)) is not counted as part of Zakat.
