I have a system that I will suggest.
Any person who saves more than the worth of 40 grams of gold in one whole year pays 2.5% of his money "savings". If each person does this, including rich people, the poverty problem will be put to an end. It is a small fraction of each persons fortune which we give to the needy people such as poor, orphans, etc. Lets say, for example, that there is a person who could save $10000 for one whole year. Using this system he will pay only $250 a year and forget any other charity after this. If we say that 1000000 individuals did that we will have 250*1000000=$250000000. Which I think will make some difference. This is called "Alzakah". It is the third pillar of Islam's main five pillars. |
