Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I had five thousand riyals of zakah in my pocket, and I wanted to give it to its recipient, but it was lost from me or stolen from me before I handed it over. Am I required to pay it out again with my brother?
Answer:
...again. You are required to pay it out, because it did not reach the recipient. Your obligation is not discharged until it reaches the recipient, and it is not in your debt. Yes.
