Is a person’s Zakaat Acceptable if he gives it to an Ineligible Person by Mistake? – Dr Zakir Naik
Epi_19_13
Yusuf Chambers: Will the Zakaat of a person be accepted if he gives it to an ineligible person by mistake?
Dr. Zakir: If a person gives Zakaat to an ineligible person by mistake surely Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) as Allah says in the Qur’an
“He does not catch the servants of Allah if they err and if they forget.”
So by mistake then InshaAllah it may be forgiven. And there is a Hadith mentioned in
Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 2 in the Book of Zakaat Hadith no. 1421 that
“Once a person went out to give alms and he unknowingly gave the alms to a thief. Next day the people started speaking that he gave alms to a thief so he said “O Praise be to Allah, I will give charity again” so he again goes out and unknowingly he gives charity to an adulteress. So next day again people start talking “O he gave charity to an adulteress” so he says “O Praise be to Allah, I will give charity again” so unknowingly, the third time when he goes out to give charity, he gives it to a rich person, again people start talking “O he has given charity to a rich person” so he says “O Praise be to Allah” and he is asking Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) that he made a mistake so there is a person who comes and tells him that InshaAllah your charity will be accepted. You may never know you gave charity to a thief, to an adulteress and to a rich person, you may never know your charity may prevent the thief from robbing and he may come on the straight path. You may never know the charity you have given to an adulteress, she may stop doing adultery she may stop doing sexual intercourse and may cone on a straight path. You may never know the charity you gave to a rich person may kindle in the heart of a rich person that he will spend his wealth in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).”
So again based on this Hadith that the Niya was good so if a person makes a mistake and he gives Zakaat to a person who is not eligible as long as he tried his best to find out the truth he makes a mistake Allah InshaAllah will accept his Zakaat. But if he is in doubt yhe should make an enquiry but by mistake if he gives then InshaAllah, Allah will not hold him responsible and his Zakaat will be accepted.
