Question:
He says: Some people borrowed a sum of money from me, one of them two thousand riyals and the other six thousand riyals, and the lunar year has passed over these amounts, so how is their zakah to be paid?
Answer:
It is as if it were in your possession; you pay zakah on it as if it were in your shop or your safe. Since it is in the debts of the borrowers, once the lunar year has passed, you pay zakah on it, which is one quarter of a tenth.
