House Handover for Gogo Ngcobo

14 Sep 2018

On Saturday the fifteenth of September 2018, the Al-Imdaad Foundation joined hands with government in the Ndwedwe area to hand over Gogo Ngcobo’s new house. The 86-year -old was looking resplendent and beamed with joy, thanking all present who had contributed to her home. The event was attended by the Al-Imdaad Foundation team, government officials and friends and family of Gogo Ngcobo who came to celebrate her life and her good turn of fortune. The Al-Imdaad Foundation had helped complete the house as funding from the original donor was insufficient. Al-Imdaad Foundation funded the roofing tiles and trusses and the electricity and plumbing installations.

Pendukile Matololo Ngcobo is an 86-year-old South African citizen from the rural Esuthumbini area in Ndwedwe Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal Province. Gogo Ngcobo had lived with her grand daughter and two grandchildren in an old dilapidated mud Rondavel (round hut) in a deeply rural area. Such was the conditions of her living, that snakes would regularly enter her house and a python had even made its night-time lair in one of the mud walls. Gogo Ngcobo had put a request forward to local authorities who relayed her story to the Deputy Minister of Social Development in South Africa. The Deputy Minister got in touch with the Al-Imdaad Foundation to assist with the house and the foundation committed to providing roofing, plumbing and electrical installations.

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
