Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Ma’har, says: I have a debt with a person, and he is delaying payment to me. It has now been more than five years. Is there zakah on this debt?
Answer:
If you do not know whether you will get it or not because he is delaying, then you pay zakah on it when you receive it. When you receive it, you pay zakah on it for one year, because it is in the ruling of a lost item. So when you find it, you pay zakah on it for one year. Yes.
