Question: If someone was to have zakat
due upon him but then gives money with the intention of voluntary sadaqa, will the money be counted towards his zakat or voluntary
sadaqa or both? Answer: بِسْمِ
اللهِ
الرَّحْمنِ
الرَّحِيْم In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. If he gives money with the
intention of voluntary sadaqa, it will be counted as voluntary
sadaqa, not zakat. And
