Al-Imdaad Foundation builds and furnishes homes for vulnerable residents of the Imbabazane area in Northern KwaZulu-Natal

Handover Event for the Imbabazane House

29 Jul 2015

The handover event drew officials, community members and representatives of the Al-Imdaad Foundation ground team together. Local Municipality Mayor Cllr PG Strydom welcomed the guests and addresses followed by the district Mayor, Cllr MA DCP Mazibuko and Al-Imdaad representatives. An emotional address from the beneficiaries also followed which brought tears to the eyes of the congregation. Later the house was handed over and the ceremonial ribbon was cut by the Al-Imdaad Foundation ground team ushering in a new phase of life for the seven members of the Khumalo family. A phase that would be markedly more comfortable than the years they had spent in their old mud hut.

The Khumalo family is a child headed household from the Ezinyosini area in Imbabazane Municipality in Northern KwaZulu- Natal. The family consists of 7 children whose parents have passed away a few years previously. The family had been identified as early as 2009 and were earmarked by the department of social development for the construction of a new home. The Al-Imdaad Foundation was requested to come on board the project after initial building commitments were delayed. Since 2012 the Al-Imaad Foundation has been assisting the family with essential apparel and household items to alleviate the difficulty of their condition. In 2015 the new home was completed and the family could finally move out of the cramped and dilapidated mud home that was their only shelter for so long.

Some of the items listed under 'Select Investment Type' are impermissable as they are essentially interest bearing instuments.

The payment of zakaat on the items mentioned do not legitimise or clense them

It is better to avoid trading in or holding (impermissable) assets.

Business

Include all Trade Debtors: Do not deduct bad debts in this section

Use the current market price to determine the appropiate value for your inventory

It might be more practical to work out a value based on the wholesale price assuming all the stock were to be sold in one single transaction on a willing buyer/seller basis

Professional or service orientated businesses e.g. lawyers, doctors, plumbers etc. should not capture monies owing to them for services rendered. The ‘Debtors Section’ should be used for this.

Polices

For conventional (non-Sharia compliant policies) first establish the premiums paid to date and the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not) and pay on the lesser amount as only that portion that equals your contributions (i.e. premiums) is halal. In other words, reduce current value by the amount of interest accrued.

For Sharia compliant policies pay Zakaat on the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not).

Zakaat is payable on all monies owing to you if you have a reasonable expectation that such monies are secure (will be paid).

Partnership

This section is to be filled in by people in a partnership type arrangement. Do not use this section for shares on a stock exchange. If there is no balance sheet or if its not current then the net-worth of the company could be equated to the value all share holders are prepared to sell the company for in its entirety, i.e. including stock, fixtures, fittings, motor vehicles etc.

Debtors

Zakaat is payable on all monies owing to you if you have a reasonable expectation that such monies are secure.

Liabilities
