How to calculate the zakah on money that is frozen and non-growing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the method for paying the zakah of restricted money and money that does not grow?

The Shaykh:
Water.

The questioner:
Money that is frozen.

The Shaykh:
Money that is frozen.

The questioner:
Yes, and non-growing, meaning he intends that it is not utilized.

The Shaykh:
He means money that is not put to use, like what they call frozen money, which is not bought or sold with, meaning it is frozen. Yes, zakah is obligatory on it; zakah is not waived. Even if it does not grow, and even if it is frozen, zakah is not waived on it. Yes, but growing it and putting it to use is better so that zakah does not consume it. As for if he freezes it and does not put it to use, zakah is not waived; the right of the poor is not waived in it. Yes.

The questioner:
And the frozen partnership.

The Shaykh:
And the restricted party means the bankrupt person, or the minor who does not know how to manage affairs, or the minor who is restricted from disposing of his wealth to preserve it. The guardian of the restricted party is the one who pays its zakah. Yes.
