The Ruling on the Zakah of Delayed Financial Rights
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: I am an employee at one of the companies, and we have financial rights that have been delayed for years, and we have not received them from our administration. Is there zakah on them? Is there any zakah due on those delayed amounts?
Answer:
If you have not been able to obtain them because the company prevented you and delayed their release, and if you are demanding them, there is no zakah on you, because you are unable to take possession of them. However, if the company is solvent, or if everyone who owes a right is able to pay it, but the delay came from the owner of the money, who was lenient and left it, then zakah is obligatory on him for every lunar year.
