Who do the Proggies give Zakat to?

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

Who do the Proggies give Zakat to?

QUESTION:
Who do the Proggies give Zakat to?
Proggies/Reformies (Engineer S.Insaf, Doctor etc)

They claim to follow Fatimid/Dawoodi Bohra Scriptures. (Daim ul Islam, Kitab al Himmah)
These texts clearly define the difference between the Fatimi practice from other sects, that there must be someone (a leader) to collect the Zakaat from his followers, and not for the people to give the Zakaat directly to the 8 categories (which some other sects do).

P.S This is in accordance to the Quran, stating خذ من اموالهم صدقة
(Oh Mohammed, take Sadaqah (Zakaat) from them)

So, who do the Proggies/Reformies give their Zakaat to?
Ahmed Ali Raj is dead, so who takes?
Or do you not believe in giving to someone (which in turn shows you don't follow the Fatimid texts)
Or, since you don't have someone to give it to, do you not give Zakat in the first place?

(I would be nice to hear the Proggy version, instead of "others" trying to justify their own practice. This is just a simple question about how they do it.)

Mohammad (saw) is no longer there to accept your zakat.

There are eight categories mentioned in the Quran that are eligible for zakat. These are

The poor (fuqara), the needy (masaqeen), those who collect zakat for distribution and not for their own comforts and pleasures, those who are close to accepting Islam, for freeing of a slave, those in debt and who cannot pay their debt, in the cause of Allah (according to scholars these are those who go out in the path of Allah either to fight or to give dawah and that rules out the Dai for sure) and the wayfarer who is stranded and cannot get back home without help.

I am sure that anyone who wishes to give zakat will be able to find enough people who can accept your zakat. Following of Fatimid texts against the commands of the Quran is kufr.

Would the poor Bohras in Ahmedabad qualify for Zakat and can you get your Masters in Kothar to look after them. After almost 6 months of exposing, no help has gone to them from Kothari Goons who collect your zakat to fly First Class on Ziyafaat Hunting.

Bro Adam,

On a serious note, can you tell me if Mola Ali (a.s.) took zakat from his followers after the demise of Rasul Allah (s.a.w.) and if Imam Hasan/Imam Hussain (a.s.) took zakat from their followers after the demise of Mola Ali (a.s.) ?

Thanks.

YES. (even 1 & 2 collected Zakaat from their people)

The "Others" are replying... Proggies ( ie: those who claim to follow Fatimi Dawoodi Bohra texts and practices)? Anyone (Proggy) going to answer?

To the poor, needy Muslims anywhere and Mumineens of Ahmedabad which people like you ignore and live in illusion that Kothari Goons will help them
Kothari Goons do not qualify for Zakkat :lol: Why does not Kothar show the amount of Zakaat collected and in what form are they distributed.

Typical off topic answer.

I am just asking who the Proggies/Reformist give Zakaat to. That's all. Not very complicated.
Do they even give Zakaat?

Dear Adam
I will appreciate if you help me understand following queries.

Is collector of Zakaat (appointed leader) accountable to people from whom Zakaat is collected ?

By what rules and regulations can Zakaat collector dispense monies collected ? The 8 ways to spend zakaat, can he/she spend as he/she wishes or it has to be as mentioned in Quran or Sunnah.

Does it become abiding on Zakaat donor to know and be responsible for his source of income and expend in way of zakaat ?

Was Imam Ali (saw) accountable to its people for monies collected in Zakaat ?

its a common sense, once u accept these personality as ur leader and Imam, there is no question of accountability, if they wish they would give if they dont they dont.

either u accept them as your leader or u just reject it.

I have read Quran and Quran has convinced me the truthfulness of Quran and it being word of God at the same time Quran is also a Furqaan (Criteria) which helped me in arriving to the conclusion that the Ismaili tayyebi literature was inspired by none but satan.

Welcome back Adam, how was the Haqiqi Yoga bootcamp? Looks like they taught you ask the question about zakat. To answer your question:
Reformists are free to give their zakat according to their free will as the Quran prescribes. Some in Udaipur choose to give it to the Jamat which then distributes it to the poor and needy.

Adam saheb:

As Humsafar says Progressives pay zakaat to their jamaat or to whomever they choose to. Now will you kindly answer, "Do abdes pay zakaat?". For the last nember of years whenever I have gone to the masjid to pay my dues, no one has ever talked to me about zakat. All they want is "wajebaat"- presumably they (the Kothar) then decides how much, if any, to allocate to zakaat. Every time there is bargaining about the amount--- the amil and his people want me to pay more than the previous year and I try (sometimes in vain) to stick to the same amount. No body asks me about or mentions the word, "zakaat".

I pay as much minimal amount as possible, then at home I work out my actual zakaat dues and send the money to India and Africa to be distributed to poor and orphans

This is the fact. In Mumbra the Vohras are very poor but still Mola is making them pay for everything.This is because they are not fateh haal.
So the Kothar has to implemant The policy of givng Zakat only to Fateh Haal. They are just doing this to make the Mumbra citizens fateh haal so that next year they will all qualify for receiving zakat. we should have gareeb in the community so that zakat can be given o someone. This is why the Mumbra Vohras are being charged for everything. This is haqiqat.

You and the other reformists failed to answer the question on Zakat last time too. Here's the link to refresh your memory.

@HUMSAFAR
Reformists are free to give their zakat according to their free will as the Quran prescribes.

The Quran and FATIMI DAWOODI BOHRA TEXTS (which the Proggies claim to follow), doesn't allow this. There must be a Leader (Haq na Saheb) who collects the Zakaat, just like the Prophet and Imams did.
So they (+you) are wrong?

Some in Udaipur choose to give it to the Jamat which then distributes it to the poor and needy.

As mentioned above, which one in the Jamat is the Haq na Saheb? (In according to the Quran and Fatimi texts).
So they (+you) are wrong?


HUMSAFAR:
1. Which of the above to do you practice?
2. If you'll don't accept the interpretation of the Daim ul Islam about giving it to the LEADER of the time, then what is the "correct" Proggy definition about giving Zakaat?
