The Zakah of Debts Owed by People

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who has a group of debts, O Shaykh, is the zakah due on these debts that are in his possession?

Answer:
The owner of the debt pays the zakah on it; the creditor pays the zakah, because this is his money, so he pays the zakah on it. Yes.
