At 10 A.M. on Monday the 21st May 1954, Rashid bin «
Khalil bin Hasir had an interview with the Political
Agent, Bahrain, and the following is the information
collected:-
JT ~ " - •
H About thirty armed men and ten servants were sent
this year to collect the Zakah from the Manasir and the
other tribes. This party was headed by Muhammad as-Sahali
who was sent from Hasa by the Amir, ’Abdullah bin Jalawi.
They were able to collect about ten thousand dollars from
the Manasir tribesmen who are living at Jauf and the other
side of Qatar. The Zakah is charged at the rate of one
doHare for a grown up camel and half a dollar for a young
camel. The yearly Zakah collected from the tribesmen is
between ten and fifteen thousand dollars. The Zakah has to
be paid in cash but when one is not able to do so the men
' ; i t
of Bin Jalawi choose the best camel and if/costs Rs.500/-
they pay him Rs.100/- only . There are no built houses at
all but a number of Barastis(huts). The country of the
c
Manasir is very fertile and has lot of trees and plenty of
water. The Muzakis(Zaka collectors) usually camp at the
’Uqailah which is the summer resort of the Manasir. They
then collect the tribesmen and take the Zaka from them.
