POČECI ORGANIZIRANOG PRIKUPLJANJA ZEKATA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
THE BEGINNING OF THE ORGANISED COLLECTION OF ZAKAT IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: Since the time of the third Khalifah, Othman r.a., Islamic scholars classify private property into hidden (gold, silver, merchandise) of which the value is known only to its owner, and the manifest (livestock, agricultural products etc.), the value of which is visible to all. Since that time the state continued collecting the zakat on the manifest/ the visible property and Omer r.a. made it a responsibility of all eligible Muslims to pay the zakat on their hidden property as well. From that time end ever since then only the zakat on hidden property was considered as zakat. Based on the main sources and the published data the author here presents the views of Bosniak ulama, primarily the opinion of Džemaludin Čaušević, which in the period between the two World Wars brought about a system of organised collection of Zakat on hidden property in Bosnia and Herzegovina for charity purpose.
