Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man has forty-four thousand riyals, and eleven months have passed since he acquired them, with one month remaining until the zakah becomes due.
The Shaykh:
in their view.
The questioner:
Forty-four thousand riyals, eleven months have passed, and one month remains until the zakah is due. He wants to give it to his brother to use for his marriage, so is zakah due on it?
The Shaykh:
If the lunar year has not yet completed, there is no issue with this matter, if he spends it before the lunar year is complete.
The questioner:
But what if only one or two days remain?
The Shaykh:
There is leniency in that case, and it is obligatory for the girl, but a month or a month is not that; that is too much. Yes.
