The zakah on the money owed to the wife by her husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This listener, Abdullah from Harim, says: My wife has a sum of money owed to her from about four years ago. It is not always available in my account, but it is rarely available to me. Is zakah due on the years in which the amount was not available to me?
Answer:
Yes, if the money you have for your wife reaches the nisab or more, and a lunar year passes over it, then zakah is obligatory on it. However, the zakah is her responsibility, unless she appoints you to pay it on her behalf. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
