Background
Multimedia

The Al-Imdaad Foundation (AIF) responded swiftly with aid for the victims of a massive fire in the Kennedy Road informal settlement in Durban which broke out on Sunday, 4 July 2010. Two people lost their lives and more than 2000 others were left homeless. On Monday, July 5 2010, the AIF team and KZN MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs Nomusa Dube conducted a ceremonial handover of food hampers at the Kennedy Road Hall. AIF then entered joint discussions with the KZN Disaster Management, the Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, eThekwini Municipality and Councillor Yacoob Baig about assistance needed for the affected residents. Food aid was identified as one of the main priorities. On Wednesday, July 7 2010, the AIF team distributed 500 food hampers to Kennedy Road residents. AIF also sponsored 1 meal a day from July 8 - 16 for the hungry. In partnership with the Minara Chamber of Commerce and with volunteers from Baitul Nur, AIF sponsored breakfast on July 8. As a local NGO, Al-Imdaad Foundation strives to provide aid to victims of natural and man-made disasters around South Africa. We have provided funding for temporary shelters, blankets, and food for residents whose homes were destroyed by fires in Durban (Foreman Road, 2008) and Johannesburg (Alexandra township, 2009 and 2010).

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

Business

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

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.
