I have a question regarding giving zakat on stocks. There is a person having some shares in stock since last 3 years and the value of those is around $955 from long time investment and he didn't withdraw money from the market but that person does not have any earnings through job or any other income. So does that person has to pay zakat compulsorily? because i have read that you need to pay zakat if you have earnings.
Does he need to sell some shares to pay the zakat or can he take some money from others to pay zakat and repay them later?
So please can someone answer this question.

I would like to know is giving zakat compulsary for the person who is not earning but has little bit of savings.
I used to had a job year ago but now I don't have any job but I had some savings left earned while I had a job. So I would like to know whether it is compulsory to give zakat in this situation and if yes how to calculate it?

Who is eligible to receive Sadqa Fitr?
Sadqa fitr is something(money) that we(Muslims) offer at the end of the Ramazan. But it is entirely different from Zakat. May I know what is the amount of Sadqa Fitr that a Muslim should a pay and who is primarily eligible to receive the Sadqa Fitr.

How often should I pay Zakat?
Since it's Ramadan now, how much Zakat should I pay? Do I pay the Zakat everyday? Even on normal days (not Ramadan), do I pay the same Zakat? What about Zakat Eid Al Fitr?

I'm a single woman who does not have a job but I do have savings in my account.
I did do my research and people say every lunar new year we should give Zakat but I am confused because in Ramadan we are also suppose to give Zakat. What they don't say is how often (every day or every week, etc). So you can see why I am confused

Zakat to a person knowingly doing zina
a brother of mine has been living with a woman (probably non-muslim, not sure) without doing nikah for some time. They even have baby now. After repeatedly advising, they did not do nikkah. He is poor, is it permissible to give him zakat or sadaqah?

Can money be donated instead of food for Sadaqah Fitr?
**Q:** Can money be donated instead of food for Sadaqah Fitr? I already read this answer: https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/9081/23055 and this fatwa: https://islamqa.info/en/22888 both of which favor the view that it isn't and only food must be donated, however I've heard otherwise from elsewhere (...

I'm interested in the comparative ruling of the schools of thought on this, especially the the four Sunni mazhabs and the Shia mazhabs, but please mention clearly the school which the answer belongs to.
