The zakah of funds deposited in trust with a person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have someone on the line. Go ahead, Mubarak. Peace be upon you. May Allah keep you in good health. And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
I have a question, may you live long. I have money in trust from people. The people have given me the green light to deal with it, and since they ask for it at any time, I bring it. I do not know if this is subject to zakah. This is the first question.
The presenter:
Okay, the Shaykh will answer in a moment.
The Shaykh:
My brother, its zakah is upon them, the owners of these deposits. If it is from money or wealth that is subject to zakah, then it is upon them. And if they appointed you to pay the zakah on their behalf, there is no harm in that. Yes.
