Please, Naif, come on to the line with us. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Shaykh, I lent a person money and a lunar year has passed over it with him; is there zakah on it? I lent a person money, Honorable Shaykh, and a lunar year has passed over it; is there zakah on it?
Answer:
Yes, without a doubt. The owner of the wealth pays zakah on it, whether the wealth is in his hand or it is a debt in the hands of people; he pays zakah on it when a lunar year has passed over it. Yes.
