The Ruling on Delaying the Payment of Zakah on the Property of a Young Orphan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for the guardian of an orphan to delay paying the zakah on the property of a young orphan until the orphan grows up and pays it himself?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to do this. His guardian must pay it every year, because it is an obligatory right due on the wealth.
