Dear respected Shaykh, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I sell clothes and there is a charitable organization which collects clothes from people who trade in clothes for distribution to the poor before ‘Eid al-Fitr, so that the poor and their children may wear new clothes on ‘Eid like the rest of the people. Can the clothes that I give for this purpose be considered as the Zakat of my business?
