(Book 17, Hadith 38) #35667
Exemption from Zakat Payment

SUMMARY: A Muslim does not have to pay zakat on his slave or horse.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Umar from Sulayman ibn Yasar from Irak ibn Malik from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A muslim does not have to pay any zakat on his slave or his horse".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ فِي عَبْدِهِ وَلاَ فِي فَرَسِهِ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the exemption of paying zakat on slaves and horses. According to this hadith, a Muslim does not have to pay any zakat on their slave or horse. This means that Muslims are exempt from having to pay taxes for these two items. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should be generous and help those in need but also be mindful of our own financial situation. He also taught us that we should take care of our animals and treat them with kindness and respect as they are part of Allah's creation too.

Zakat is an important pillar in Islam which helps the needy by providing them with financial assistance so they can live a better life. It is a form of charity which helps those who cannot afford basic necessities such as food and clothing. By exempting Muslims from having to pay zakat on their slaves or horses, it shows how much importance was placed upon taking care of one's own finances while still being generous towards others in need at the same time.

This hadith teaches us the importance of being mindful with our finances while still helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves through charity work such as giving out zakats or donations when possible. It also reminds us that animals should be treated kindly since they too are part of Allah's creation and deserve love and respect just like humans do!
