The ruling on leaving one’s share of zakah to the heirs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I want to leave my share in it to the rest of the heirs; I do not want it.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He asks about the wedding, saying: I want to leave my share in it to the rest of the heirs. What is obligatory for you?
The Shaykh:
Now, if you left it before the zakah became obligatory on it—meaning, before a lunar year had passed since the death of the deceased—then you owe no zakah on it. However, if you did not leave it until after the lunar year had passed, then you must pay the zakah on it and then leave it to the heirs after paying the zakah, because the zakah became obligatory on you by the passage of the lunar year.
