The Zakah of a Wife's Gold
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A man sold his wife's gold to pay off a debt he owed. Is there zakah on that gold, given that it is a debt in the man's possession owed to his wife, knowing that he is currently unable to pay?
Answer:
The debt is hers, and the zakah is hers, because the debt is hers and she owns this debt, so she pays zakah on it once a year has passed. Yes.
