Zakat Calculator

Zakat Calculator

Alhamdulillah, the month of Ramadhan has been bestowed upon us by Allah. ZAKAT is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam, mandatory on all muslims who are of eligible wealth. Zakat is due from and payable by a person on his wealth (and not his income), which has remained with him/her for one Islamic year.

It is difficult to calculate the completion of one year on each item of wealth, because purchase dates may vary. To overcome this difficulty, a practical method is to fix a date (e.g. 1st of Ramadhan), compute your total wealth on that date and calculate Zakat, thereon.

@ RG
Thanks
one question,I will be thankful if you or any brother give advise.
I have one 9/10 file, aimed to give gift to daughter on her marriage.
Is zakat is payable ?

rizwan replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 04:56 AM PST 

dear khalid, thanks for asking such a useful question, please consult any scholar or call dr zakir niak help line u can find its number on his website , my first opinion is that u MIGHT not NEED to pay zakkat as this file is not a trade goods for u. May Allah show us right path and we all must pay zakkat with full honesty as it is described as right of Allah on us.

Khurram replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 09:41 PM PST 

I have a similar sort of a question to Khalid and will appreciate your comments.

I have put in a major part of my savings in buying 20 tola gold biscuits (when gold was not this expensive) for my daughters wedding. Is zakat payable on that?

Regards

qasim replied on Thursday, August 4, 2011 01:18 AM PST 

It is better to ask some scholar or some authentic websites for example (www.askimam.com or www.shariahboard.net). According to my limited knowledge. (Gold, silver, cash) irrespective of intention is zaktable. However the residential plot, if not bought with the intention of trade, is not zakatable but if it is bought with the intention of trade, then it is zakatable.
Allah knows best

Sheikh replied on Thursday, August 4, 2011 03:51 AM PST 

First of all, I am not a scholar, but have done some reading and research. My understanding is that if you are holding the assets not a minor child and God forbid if you ever have an emergency and you can sell your assests and take care of yor urgency then you are responsible for zakat.

If anyone else knows more, please do share your knowledge.

Khalid replied on Thursday, August 4, 2011 09:32 PM PST

Investment

Dear CMY,

Need your expert opinion and advice, is this the right time to invest i mean talking about the recent boom in prices for DHA-Lahore before the balloting of plots on installments??

Secondly , I have seen DHA Lahore Phase 6 1 Kanal Allocation File Sellers At 38.50 Lacs
DHA Lahore Phase 7 1 Kanal Allocation File Sellers At 24.00 Lacs
DHA Lahore Phase 8 1 Kanal Allocation File Sellers At 30.50 Lacs


it seems this one a file in phase 6,7 or 8 without Development charges ?? if this is so then how much are/will be the development charges and when it will be converted in plot.

whats the better option to go for this allocation file in Phase 6 , 7 or 8 or purchase 2 allocation files in phase 9??

Last Question usually how much DHA takes as i am out of Pakistan and will be in pakistan for around 20 days is it possible to buy within this period?

Anxiously waiting for your reply.

Jameel replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 01:34 AM PST 

Here is answer to Your Questions
CMY Please correct if something is wrong here

These
files are without development charges,
There time of Ballot is not known. Most Probably before hand over of all phase but not necessary.
Development charges are usually same as that of Phase Like for Phase 7 it was 9 lac and Phase 8 it was 10 lac, But if allocation of Plots are made at very late time then new development charges as per inflation are applicable, example is phase 6 where old development charge were 6 Lac but new Files had to pay 9 Lac.
Tranafer can be made in 1 days if You pay urgent fees without that one week, Most of time is lost in getting File and seller at Correct price and to lock the deal, A good dealer Like CMY can help you for this. A Bad dealer may not be able to Lock deal even in month.

These Files come in Market when some owner of lands in the pocket sell Land to DHA,
Usual Location of These Plots are not very Good but occasionally can be Good as well. If You see the the interrupted parts of of DHA 8 maps then plots May be somewhere there. In case of DHA7 most of Such Locations were Near BRB Canal and Pengali Village [Both are Considered bad Locations] There is not necessarily any ballot for it rather DHA sometimes revises Map and you are issued intimation letters, In some case like in DHA 5 people had to wait for very long time and Files were not changed in the Plots.
Usually Price of these Files Plus development charges is equal to bad Location plots,
Choice is Yours Either to go for bad Location plot today or get a Bad Location Plots after many years, in second case there are some 20% Chances that Plot will be average or Good Location.
I myself might go for on ground plots.
For Only Investment point of View phase 9 File is better.

rizwan replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 04:41 AM PST 

dear jameel,thanks FOR sharing such useful information, yr comments dont go in favour of buying a file, but as per yr last statement how phase9 file would be good for investment , please share yr smart plan.

Jameel replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 06:42 AM PST 

in phase 9 most of people will get average Locations and In 6,7,8 Most people will get plots in pockets or Boundaries.
That is the difference.
I still favor plot on
Files but for pure investment purpose File of 9 is better ans it is low priced.

CMY replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 02:06 PM PST 

Allocation
files of DHA 6 7 or 8 are not recommended at this point as all good plots are already allotted. You have good chance to get a poorest location on these already balloted phases files.

We suggest you to buy DHA Lahore phase 9 files as getting a good location plots above 95% in your favor.
Where word file is used in DHA it means development charges are not included in price.

It is possible to buy and transfer files or plots in less than 3 days time.

Dear CMY Please reply!

I have two plots in Phase 7 R Sector. Is it good time to sell them or you foresee more gains in near future.
If I sell them now where you suggest I should re-invest the money in DHA Lahore.
Many Thanks for your continued support.

CMY replied on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 01:46 PM PST 

R block have seen lot of gain as people can see for long time its ready for possession any time. It will gain on possession but just little amount as those gains expected on possession are already built in.

I think its worth to wait till possession.

Wajid Hussain sahib 10 marla rate is 12 to 14 lacs and one kanal is available at 18 to 25 lacs. It is a good safe housing scheme to make a new investment. If you wish to buy a plot here best person to call is Mian Rashid at 03028409967

If you have cash try to go for on ground ready developed plots with development charges included. If you cant pay cash than on installments Bahria Town sector D is a good / better option for Multan road side housing schemes.

I THINK EDENGARDENS EXTENSION 5 MARLA INVESTEMTN IS BETTER THAN DHA 5 MARLA, BOTH R ON SAME
LOCATION BUT EDEN POSSESSION AND DEVELOPMENT IS IN NOW DELIVERY RANGE WHEREAS, DHA DELIVERY AND POSSESSION+DEVELOPMENT MIGHT TAKE DECADE.SECONDLY EDENGARDEN PRICES R FAR LOW THAN DHA. I ALSO THINK THAT EDEN LOCATION AND APPROACH IS BETTER THAN DHA.

What is the price of 5 Marlas Plot in Eden Garden?
What is the price of 5 Marlas Plot in DHA?
I agree with Mr. Shahid Khan coments. But is the current status of Eden Garden Infrastructure Developement I mean how many % it completed until now then we can decide. Eden are also two types and you can differenciate between them by their telephone numbers. Arshad Choudry Amjad Choudry . Both are flowing in same condition. Collect money and get profit up to 5 year and then do little Infrastructure to get positive response and sleep again for further some years. When they sold their products mentioned period 18 months but never give you possession in that period. DHA is also doing same.

Salam CYM,
I have 2 questions if you can answer.
(1) What will be the best housing scheme to buy plot other than DHA... LDA, OPF, Bahria, etc.??
(2) DHA phase 5 Ext and regular phase-5 are separated by ring road (only 5% or less of Ext. is attached with the regular phase-5). Phase-5 Ext is largely connected to Phase 9/10. In front of huge size phase 9/10, a small size phase 5 Ext will not have a value!! Do you think phase-5 Ext is a good investment?

Answer replied on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 09:35 AM PST

Very Important Points To Keep In Mind

Please be informed commercial or residential plots that have possession in DHA phase 1 to 6 may be transfers only when they are full paid. This is a normally practice for all plots transfers in DHA Lahore. You must keep this possibility in your mind before you buy in installment plots in DHA 1 to 6 that you have full funds for profit amount and the full amount that have to be paid to DHA for possession plot. Current owner could pay installments for possession plots if they don't want to sell their plots or don't want to build their homes. DHA may not allow a new purchasers to carry forward installments that have possession available. DHA Lahore offered plots on installments to generate funds and most likely will not allow to defer payments for new purchaser for ready plots. Keep in mind DHA town plots even non possession plots that are offered to soldiers in installments are transferable to new owners ONLY WHEN THEY ARE FULLY paid by sellers. Installment benefit is only for new winners and not for new buyers.


Plots that have no possession yet could carry forward installments for new purchasers too as DHA is already doing so in DHA phase 8.

observor replied on Monday, August 1, 2011 11:57 PM PST 

Dear CMY sb, does Phase 6 MB Commercial has possession given already and would these also be only transferred by paying the full amount (Rs. 170 lacs) to DHA? Thanks in advance.

DHA replied on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 01:48 AM PST 

This is a very important point and potentially a game changer! CMY sahib would do everybody a big favor if he can get definitive info from DHA regarding which categories in this ballot can be transferred with full payment only and otherwise. The "owns" will come down if its the case for most categories.

observor replied on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 01:15 PM PST 

Dear ali11 so it appears that there is still quite a lot of development work left for new Phase 6 MB Commercials specially facing residential ones. Anyhow thanks for your review.

CMY replied on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 07:58 PM PST 

DHA Lahore Phase 6 Plots Will Be Transfered
It is now confirmed from DHA Lahore all possession plots from DHA Lahore phase 1 to phase 6 will be transferred only after making full payment to DHA Lahore. Installment benefit was only for current owners and not the new buyers. A buyer must pay full amount to DHA Lahore and also pay profit amount to seller ( If any before transfer) .


DHA6 MB plots profit took a great hit of 25 lacs today alone as holders dont have enough funds to pay installments and no buyers willing to pay this large all amount at transfer. MB6 own is expected to fall greatly in near future as many deals were done by dealers/buyers expecting plots will be transferred on installments.
