The Shaykh:
Look, brothers, when the lunar year is completed, he counts the money in his possession and the money with other people, he totals it, and he calculates one-tenth of a quarter of the whole, whether it is in his hands or with other people. If the debts are with people of means who are able to pay, he counts those debts along with the money in his hands and pays zakah on all of it. Yes.
