So give to the kinsman his right, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer, That is best for those who
seek Allah's countenance. And such are they who are successful. (30:38)
In this way Muslims help each other without hurting the self respect of the others. It is an
important fact that, both in Qur’an & Hadith the amount and heads of Infaq is not given. This
fact gives extraordinary expansion to infaq for its application. it means that any amount to any
needy person at anytime and anywhere can be given for any purpose. With that Qur’an has also
imposed some conditions in this regard.
3. Conditions of Infaq
Qur’an has imposed certain conditions in this regard, these are as follows:
3.1 It should be for the pleasure of Allah and not for any showiness (92:20)
3.2 It should be for the goodness and without any expectations of reward and just for the
consent of Allah (92:18-20) If the purpose of this act is something else then it will not
produce any good results.
3.3 No aim of publicity should be there (4:37-38)
3.4 Hidden Infaq is much better than the open donations (2:271) because the self respect of
receiving person keeps intact in farmer case, which is most important.
3.5 It should be before death (63:10), definitely after death there is no chance of doing this
act.
3.6. It should be out of pure and scared income (2:267) that infaq does not have any
importance which is done through illegal or haram income.
At here one important point should be kept in mind that, the aim of measures adopted by Qur’an
and Hadith for this purpose is not to provide equal amount of facilities or bring them to the same
level. Definitely it is impossible, on the other hand, basic aim is equitable distribution of wealth
Ahmed (1955) it means that existence of inequality is a natural phenomenon, but it is not a
chosen fact Moududi (1994)
4. Infaq Should be Develop as an Institution
Infaq can be develop as an institution in the light of teachings and practice of wholly prophet
(P.B.U.H) different examples from his life can be given in this regard.
4.1 In one case prophet has assigned a job to some persons who have presented their services
voluntarily, as in the case of slaves, who deserted enemy camp at Ta’if, he nominated a
certain person or group of persons to look-after the physical or monetary cost of these
people.
4.2. In another case prophet has made a general appeal on volunteering basis to do a certain
job, as he did in the case of financing the destitute of the tribe of Mudar and in case of
purchasing a well at a certain time.
4.3. It may be possible that, it will be made compulsory for the people that, they will provide
maximum physical and monetary contribution to fulfill the requirements of any particular
job. As it was did in the case of gazwa-e-tabuk. Hassan-uz-Zaman (1993).
