Distributing Zakah Between Debt and the Poor When Both Are Present
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the question from a moment ago, we say: If a debt becomes obligatory on hidden wealth, and zakah becomes obligatory at the same time, as in the example we mentioned, if a person has two hundred dirhams in his hand and zakah becomes due on it, and he has a debt of one hundred, yes, how are the shares determined?
The Shaykh : Okay, and what is left now?
The questioner : They come to their Lord, and He is in their hands.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the zakah on the two hundred? Five. Okay, so the debt takes two and a half, and the people of zakah take two and a half.
The questioner : The two hundred is distributed.
The Shaykh : The two hundred yields five; from that, two and a half goes to the debt and two and a half goes to the people of zakah.
The questioner : And the one hundred that is on you.
The Shaykh : And the one hundred, if he pays it, it is necessary.
The Shaykh : Okay, and what is left now?
The questioner : They come to their Lord, and He is in their hands.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the zakah on the two hundred? Five. Okay, so the debt takes two and a half, and the people of zakah take two and a half.
The questioner : The two hundred is distributed.
The Shaykh : The two hundred yields five; from that, two and a half goes to the debt and two and a half goes to the people of zakah.
The questioner : And the one hundred that is on you.
The Shaykh : And the one hundred, if he pays it, it is necessary.
