The zakah of the heirs' money kept in the bank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: There is a sum of money that has remained in the bank for about three years, without increasing or decreasing, and it belongs to a group of heirs who have had problems among them. Now that the problems have been resolved, is zakah due on it? And if the money is distributed among them, does each of them pay zakah on the share he receives?
Answer:
Yes. Once the money is received and his share of the inheritance is received, the lunar year begins. If a lunar year passes after he has received it, he pays zakah on it. However, before he receives it, there is no zakah on it, because he has not been able to take possession of it. Yes.
