[5] From the word meaning “neck” – it refers to the ransoming or free
Muslims from slavery.
This shows that every Muslim must be freed from all forms of slavery or
from being under oppression. Their freedom must be accorded for them (if
need be) using the zakat funds.
Although chattel slavery no longer exist, yet Islamic scholars are known to
apply ‘Qiyas’ (juristic analogy) for what may constitute modern ‘slavery’.

We differentiate “debt” from “loan”. Loan is merely one who
can afford to repay what he owes, except that it be deferred. He

unforeseen expenditure incurred due to misfortune, sickness, accident, calamities etc.

of Da’wah” i.e. those striving to “raise the kalimah of Allah, to be
highest” in the field of spreading the teachings of Islam through
Da’wah.
