Q5: A person of legal age says that he bought his sheep on installment over a number of years and has not completed paying the installments by now; is zakah obligatory on them before the installments are fully paid?
A5: Zakah is obligatory on visible wealth, even if the owner has a debt; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his agents to collect zakah and did not order them to ask the owners of wealth for details about whether they had debts or not.
