DUBAI // The Dar Al Ber Society held a free course on the jurisprudence of zakat, or charity, at the Salam Mosque in Al Barsha 2.
Led by scholar Dr Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Rais Al Rais, the lectures were based on the Bulugh Al Maram heritage book of the late Sheikh Ahmed bin Hajar Al Asqalani, reported Wam, the state news agency.
The class shed light on the provisions, principles, types, amounts and conditions of zakat, or alms, be it mandatory or optional.
