Zakah on a Debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q1: A questioner says: He is demanding financial amounts from some people. Is zakah obligatory on them? Knowing that some of them have not reached their due date and some have been paid off.
A1: If the debts are owed by a solvent person who is not delaying payment, then zakah is obligatory on them when the lunar year has passed. There is no difference between a debt that is due immediately and one that is deferred. The lunar year begins from the time the original capital is possessed, and the lunar year for profits is the same as the lunar year for the original capital.
