This is Fascinating... He essentially fulfilled the purpose behind Zakat to the point he never needed to give any
Imagine finding out a multi-millionaire scholar never paid zakat.
Not just any scholar. One spoken of in the same breath as Imam Shafi'i and Imam Malik.
And not just any multi-millionaire. Someone earning the equivalent of up to $44 million a year.
Imam al-Layth ibn Sa'd was the leading scholar of Egypt in his time, while running businesses that brought in anywhere between 20,000 and 80,000 gold dinars a year. That's roughly $11 to $44 million in today's money.
Yet he said:
"No zakat has ever been obligatory upon me since I reached the age of puberty."
Why?
Zakat only becomes due once wealth sits untouched for a full lunar year.
Al-Layth's wealth never made it that far.
- He sent thousands of dinars to scholars like Imam Malik.
- He fed 300 poor people daily.
- He funded students, travellers, anyone in need.
By year's end, his surplus was gone. Some years, he even went into short-term debt just to keep giving.
Compare that to Qarun, who hoarded his wealth, refused to purify it, and became a Qur'anic example of what greed does to a person.
Al-Layth never needed the law of zakat to catch up to him.
His generosity already had.
Most of us are optimizing the wrong question when it comes to charity.
Not "what do I owe." But "what am I still holding that I don't need?"

I feel like someone should write a book on how the methodology used to calculate zakat obligations evolved over time

INSOLITE | Un bébé arrivé au monde avec une moustache fait le tour des réseaux sociaux
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
La vidéo ne montre pas un bébé authentiquement né avec une moustache ; son authenticité n'est pas confirmée et des analyses indiquent une probable manipulation par IA ou retouche. Les nouveau-nés peuvent avoir du lanugo fin mais pas cette pilosité épaisse adulte.
