Zakah is obligatory on the wealth of the minor and the adult

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a sum of money, and I am eighteen years old now. So, is zakah obligatory on me? My mother says there is no zakah on me, and she does not want to pay the zakah for me. He says: I have a sum of money, and I am eighteen years old. My mother says there is no zakah on me.

Answer:
Zakah is due on the wealth of the adult and the minor, my brother. Zakah is a right in the wealth; it is obligatory on the minor and the adult. The adult pays it himself, while the guardian pays it on behalf of the minor. It is required if the wealth reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it.
