Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: My guarantor has been withholding my salary for more than eight months, and he does not allow me to benefit from it. If a lunar year passes over this withheld money, is there any zakah due on it?
Answer:
No, because you have not been able to access it. As long as you have not been able to access it, there is no zakah due on it until you are able to access it. Yes.
