Question:
Is zakah due on a debt that is owed by people?
Answer:
Without a doubt, if the debt is not owed by someone who is unable to pay or by someone who is delaying payment, and you are confident of receiving it, then it is like the money in your hand; you pay zakah on it along with your other wealth, because it is your property. Yes.
