Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there zakah on the quarter of the deceased? Yes.
The Shaykh:
Do you mean a bequest?
The questioner:
It seems so.
The Shaykh:
There is no zakah on a bequest. A bequest and a waqf (endowment) do not have zakah on their wealth, because it is in the path of good and in acts of righteousness. There is no zakah on it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
