Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is zakah obligatory on the mahr if it is not received and a lunar year has passed over it?
The Shaykh:
If it is not.
The questioner:
Received.
The Shaykh:
If it is not received? Yes, indeed. A debt requires zakah. This is a debt; if a lunar year passes over it and it reaches the nisab, you pay its zakah. Yes.
