The Zakah on the Deferred Mahr in the Husband's Debt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman married with a prompt mahr of ten thousand and a deferred mahr of forty thousand in her husband's debt. Is there zakah on this deferred amount?

Answer:
Yes, because it is a debt upon her for which zakah is due, as it is a debt in the husband's possession. It is like the debt of a creditor, on which zakah is obligatory. Yes.
