The ruling on the zakah of a study grant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Morocco says: A benefactor gives me a study grant of six thousand dirhams every year. Do I have to pay zakah on it, knowing that I am a student aged twenty-five and have no one to support me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you have money and a lunar year passes over it, reaching the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), then zakah is obligatory on it, even if you are poor and in need. If a poor person has an amount of money that reaches the nisab and a lunar year passes over it, zakah is obligatory on it, even if he is poor, because it is attached to the wealth; zakah is attached to the wealth. Yes.
