Question 1:
The Guide states that Zakatable assets must be assessed at current market value, not historical cost. Critically evaluate this rule.
1. Why is market value more consistent with the objectives of Zakat?
2. Would using historical cost contradict the concept of growth (An-Namaa)? Explain.(3 Marks)
Question 2:
Zakat requires completion of one lunar year (Al-Hawl) for most monetary assets. In modern business environments with continuous cash flows and digital transactions, evaluate whether the concept of Al-Hawl remains practically applicable.
Should modern accounting systems modify this concept, or should they adapt to it? Justify your answer.(3 Marks)
Question 3:
A company reached Nisab on 1 Shaban 1446H. On 25 Rajab 1447H (one lunar year later), its Zakatable assets reached SAR 500,000. However, during the year, it paid Zakat voluntarily in Muharram 1447H on part of its cash.(4 Marks)
Required:
- Should the company pay Zakat again on the full amount at the end of Rajab?
- Explain using the rule of independence of each year.
- Identify the Zakat principle applied.
