BEYTULMAL ？N THE PER？OD OF THE PROPHET OF MUHAMMAD

After the Prophet's migration from Mecca to Medina, the foundations of a new state were laid in Medina. In this State, it is known that the Muslims suffered material difficulties in the first period. The Messenger of Allah encouraged the rich to help the poor. In the first period, this assistance, which was dependent on demand, started to become compulsory with the assumption of zakat. For this purpose, the Messenger of Allah appointed some officers to gather the zakat. On the other hand, in some of the battles, booty stuff had been obtained by Muslims.In the same way, incomes such as fey and cizye also began to be taken from non-Muslims. Zakat is taken from the Muslims and humus and jizya taxes which the fifth of the spoils taken from non-Muslims, were distributed to those in need. Nevertheless, occasionally some goods had remained. Those remaining goods had to be kept in a certain place in order to be distributed to the needy. For this purpose, it is known that some places are allocated for this work. It has been reported that there was a room on the upper floor of the Masjid-i Nebi and the remaining goods were placed there. However, the Prophet's house is also known to serve for this purpose
