Giving Zakat

:w:

I read in a booklet issued by www.fisabilillah.org that Zakat must be given to muslims only, ordinary Sadaqah can be given to muslim or non-muslim.

Also it said that if you give the money to a middle party to distribute it, if that person does not give it to the needy muslims and spend it as Zakat must be spent (there are things Zakat cannot be spent on) then the responsibility is still on you to pay the Zakat.

So its our responsibility to ensure its all being spent correctly also.

Allahu Ahlam
 
Salam Aleykum,

Just a quick Zakat question.
When does it become obligatory to give? Im a college student with no income... If I start getting income should I start giving Zakat, or does it start at some other time??
