My neighbours the Aydin family owe exactly 2,150 CAD to the grocery co-op on Elder Street, built up over eight months after Mehmet Aydin's delivery contract ended in December. The account is interest free, the co-op has issued a written statement of the balance and I can share it with the platform on request. Mehmet found part time work in April but the household income of about 2,300 CAD a month covers rent, heat and food for the four of them with nothing left over, and they have no savings or assets beyond a 2011 sedan he needs for the job. Every dollar raised goes to the co-op directly against the account, and I will post the receipt. Nothing here is for me and nothing is for any other purpose.
Who wrote what you are about to read:
The pipeline did not refuse. Nothing to deliver: the pipeline did not refuse.
The story states the household has no savings or assets beyond a car needed for work, indicating no zakatable surplus beyond that necessity.
they have no savings or assets beyond a 2011 sedan he needs for the job
The story states the household income covers rent, heat and food, meaning basic needs are currently met from earnings, which points away from unmet subsistence needs.
The organizer states that nothing raised is for themselves and nothing is for any other purpose, pointing away from any administrative or collection cost being charged.

The story names the creditor, states the exact amount owed, explains the debt arose after the primary earner's contract ended, states the account carries no interest, and shows the household's income leaves nothing over to clear it.

Nothing was left unresolved for want of a fact the organizer could supply.
Previously adjudicated campaigns, closest first. Every one of them is synthetic and written for this repository. They are here for you to compare against and they decide nothing: the decision on this campaign is yours to record.
When my father was ill last year we borrowed from three relatives to keep the household going and to pay for his medicines. Between them it comes to about 4,000 USD. They have never asked for it back and they would not, but my mother says it weighs on her every day and she wants it settled while she can. We still have...
Information requested. The debt is stated plainly and two facts our policy turns on are not. Whether the relatives are actually seeking repayment matters, and the copy says the opposite twice while also saying the family wants it settled, which is a real situation and not a contradiction to hold against anyone. Whether the household could meet it from what it holds matters as well, and the plot outside town is mentioned without a value or a statement of whether it can be sold. I asked both questions and said in the message that either answer is workable; what is not workable is a reviewer guessing on the organizer's behalf, which is what would have to happen to record a decision today.
My uncle Bilal spent eleven weeks in hospital in Amman after a fall at work and came home to an invoice for 6,800 JOD. The hospital has sent two payment demands and the last one gives us until the end of next month. He is 61, he has not worked since the fall, and the family has no savings left after the first surgery....
Approved. The itemised invoice and both payment demands were supplied, so the debt is current and quantified rather than anticipated, and that is the fact our policy asks for first. The household's own means do not cover it on the statements we were sent. I asked the organizer directly whether any part of the balance is accrued interest or a late charge and was told it is not, which the invoice bears out. Payment goes to the beneficiary, who settles the account. Straightforward on the evidence; the only reason it took a second look is that a medical bill is often a bill someone else is already paying, and here nobody is.
I am raising 2,400 GBP for my sister Halima, who has been raising three children on her own since her husband died in February. She works part time in a school kitchen and the hours were cut in September. Her income does not cover the rent and the heating in the same month, and she is now four months behind with a...
Approved for zakat. The organizer supplied three months of bank statements for every account and the tenancy agreement, and our team read them: on the figures given, net assets sit well below the threshold our policy uses and the arrears are documented rather than asserted. Funds are paid to the beneficiary rather than to the landlord's agent, which is what our policy requires. I left al-gharimin as unresolved rather than counting the arrears twice; nothing turns on it here because the household qualifies on need alone. No scholarly question arose and no consultation was needed.
Most people who take shahadah at our centre never come back after the second month. Some are not on speaking terms with their families, some have moved out with a bag, and almost none of them know anyone. We are raising 25,000 GBP for a two-year support fund: a mentor for the first year, weekly classes, a shared meal...
Information requested, after I put it to our advisor. Whether this category still operates at all is genuinely disputed between contemporary bodies, and one of them moved on it as recently as this year, so our policy does not let a badge rest on that question by itself. The question I put to the advisor was about our own policy rather than about the underlying difference, and the answer was to look for an independent basis in the campaign. So I have asked the organizer what share of the fund is emergency grants going to individuals, and whether those recipients are in material need at the point they receive it, since that would put part of this campaign somewhere I can assess on evidence. None of this is a finding against the organizer or against the category, and I said so in the message, because a request that reads as a soft refusal will not get me the facts I need.
No decision has been recorded, so this campaign has no outcome. Nothing above is one.
