The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: By his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 2840 between him and the Fire are seventy autumns. He asks: Is the phrase "in the cause of Allah" specific only to the warrior?
The Shaykh:
It is specific only to the warrior, because it combines the expedition with fasting, so it is specific to him. What did I say about the question before this one?
The questioner:
Regarding the zakah of debts.
The Shaykh:
The zakah of debts: everyone pays zakah on what is in his hand and what he has with people in the form of debts. And money, even if you intend to pay off a debt with it, as long as it is in your possession and ownership, it is your money and it is obligatory for you to pay its zakah. Yes.
