Darı Al-Iftā’ on Mawlid sweets and Zakat
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta clarified that distributing sweets of the Mawlid (the celebration of the Prophet's birthday) to the poor is not considered obligatory Zakat on wealth. Zakat requires the direct transfer of wealth to eligible recipients so that they can manage it according to their basic needs, such as food and medicine, rather than simply distributing goods like sweets. They emphasized that Zakat involves providing money directly to achieve their benefit, whereas distributing sweets falls under voluntary acts and charity, which bring Muslims closer to God and increase social goodness, especially during the Mawlid occasion. They also noted that using the term "Eid" for this celebration is permissible, and that expressing joy through acts like food and gatherings reflects love and happiness for this religious event.
