The Difference Between the Stabilization of Ownership and the Stabilization of the Obligation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between the stabilization of ownership and the stabilization of the obligation?
Answer:
The king's acknowledgment. You know, if a debt is on a person who has the right to annul the contract, such as a mukatab (a slave who has contracted to buy his freedom), zakah is not obligatory on it. The obligation must become established. They say that when the fruit ripens, when the fruit ripens and the stalks of the crops become firm, zakah becomes obligatory. Yes, the obligation becomes established, meaning it has become due. And the obligation does not become established until the produce is placed in the threshing floor. This will come, if Allah wills, when we discuss the zakah on what comes out of the earth. Yes.
