salaam,

Regarding the course on Zakat. Am I to understand that there will be no live sessions or office hours? What if email is not sufficient to ask your questions, since some cases require follow-up back and forth? Won’t that make it difficult to confidently calculate zakat? I have a book and took the Essentials of Islam that discussed Zakat and its integrals. But at times there are questions on special cases - which you want clarified and I am not sure email is sufficient.

It would help to have at least one Q&A live session.

wasalaam,
Fedwa

wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah,

There won’t be a live session because we felt that the nature of personal Zakat questions wouldn’t work well if asked in a general live session. Rather, these questions were best answered one-on-one, so that students could read/listen to answers that were best suited to their circumstances. Insha’Allah in addition to the forum/emails, Shaykh Sohail will be holding office hours for more involved questions like what you are referring to.

I hope this helps.

salaam,

Is the Zakat class still offered or was it cancelled? I do not see it open for registration.

wasalaam,

wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah,

Sorry, human error by me on inputting the incorrect last day of registration date. I’ve fixed the problem and the course is now open again.

Sorry!
