The Obligation of al-Zakat (charity) and Necessary Payments from Properties
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ وَغَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الله جَلَّ وَعَزَّ جَعَلَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ فِي أَمْوَالِ الأغْنِيَاءِ مَا يَكْفِيهِمْ وَلَوْ لاَ ذَلِكَ لَزَادَهُمْ وَإِنَّمَا يُؤْتَوْنَ مِنْ مَنْعِ مَنْ مَنَعَهُمْ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from ibn Muskan and more than one person who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has assigned in properties of affluent people a share for the needy that is sufficient to meet their need; otherwise, He would have increased such share. Shortages come from non-payment of those who do not pay.”
