An introduction to zakah on inherited wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman received her share of the inheritance a few days ago. When does she have to pay zakah on this wealth? Is it required that a lunar year pass over it, or not?
Answer:
The zakah on it becomes obligatory for her from the death of the deceased, because when the deceased died and his soul departed, the wealth transferred to the heir, becoming the property of the heir. So she pays zakah on it starting from the death of the deceased.
