The questioner:
A questioner says: I lent money to my friend, and a lunar year has passed over it. Do I pay zakah on the money I have and the money my friend has?
The Shaykh:
Yes, you pay zakah on the money in your possession and the debts you are owed by people. You pay zakah on all of it. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
It is your property. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If the debtor is unable to pay or is delaying, and you do not know if he will pay or not, you do not pay zakah on it until you receive it. As for the thing you are confident you will receive, you pay zakah on it every year. Yes.
