The Zakah of Inherited Property Whose Division Is Delayed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A person passed away, and the inheritance was not divided until a year and a half later. So if my share comes to me, should I pay zakah on it, considering that the delay was due to the heirs and the court proceedings?
Answer:
As long as there are proceedings in the court and you have not been able to obtain your right, there is no zakah on it until you receive it. Once you receive it, you start a new lunar year with it; if the year is completed after you receive it, you pay zakah on it. Yes.
