The Ruling on the Zakah of a Car Debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener, Abdullah from Yemen, says: My father sold a car to a man on credit for an unspecified period, and over three years the man paid the amount in installments. The question is: Is there zakah on this amount? We note that whenever we received an installment, we immediately spent it.
The Shaykh:
If a lunar year has passed and it reaches the nisab, then zakah is obligatory. Yes.
The questioner:
And if it is spent immediately.
The Shaykh:
If a lunar year has not passed, then there is no zakah on it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
