Question:
He says: My brother passed away in Rajab, so we decided to pay the zakah on his wealth every Rajab, because that is the completion of the lunar year. Is this correct?
Answer:
When a person dies, his wealth passes to the heirs. There is no zakah on the deceased; rather, the zakah is on the heirs, and each one pays the zakah on his share of the inheritance. Yes.
