Question:
Is zakah obligatory on a disabled person and his children?
Answer:
If he means zakat al-fitr, then zakat al-fitr is obligatory on every Muslim, whether he is healthy or disabled, and also on his children for whom he is responsible for maintenance; he pays zakat al-fitr on their behalf. But if he means the zakah on wealth, then if he possesses the nisab of wealth and a lunar year has passed over it, the zakah becomes obligatory on it, even if its owner is disabled. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
