Zakah on a deferred debt paid in installments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the debt is bought in installments, how do you take it?
The Shaykh:
If the debt is due and a lunar year has passed over it, zakah becomes obligatory on it, whether it is one installment or several installments. He pays zakah on it every year, whenever a lunar year passes over it, because it is his wealth and his property, and a lunar year has passed over it, so he pays zakah on it every year, even if the entire amount is not due at once, but only the installments are due. Yes.
