Zakah on Money Held by a Guarantor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is a resident in Saudi Arabia. He says: I have dirhams with my guarantor, and I have not received any of them. It has now been more than two years. Is there zakah on them?
Answer:
If your guarantor is willing to pay them, and it is you who left them with him and did not ask for them, then zakah is obligatory on you every year once they reach the nisab or more. However, if your guarantor is stalling and you are unable to get them, then zakah becomes obligatory on you only when you receive them, and the lunar year begins from the time of receipt. Yes.
