The ruling on the zakah of money remaining for the heirs before its distribution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Muhammad al-'Utaybi asks and says: I have cash money belonging to the heirs that has not yet been distributed. We are currently waiting for the court to divide it. Is there any zakah due on it?
Answer:
Each person pays zakah on his share. As long as it has not been divided, no zakah is paid from it, because they have not been able to take possession of it. Once it is divided among the heirs, each heir pays zakah on his share when a lunar year has passed after he receives it. Yes.
