Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does one who owns land subject to zakah have to go into debt and borrow in order to pay its zakah?
Answer:
He is not required to do that, but it remains a debt in his liability, remaining a debt in his liability until he is able to pay it. If he borrows and pays it, no, but he is not required to do that.
