Zakah on a deceased person's one-third share and the property of orphans

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This man asks, may Allah bless you: If a person has a one-third share belonging to a deceased person and some dirhams belonging to orphans, is there zakah on it?

Answer:
There is no zakah in the third; because its distribution is in acts of righteousness, which is the distribution of zakah. As for the money of orphans and the poor, zakah is obligatory in it; because it is a right in the money, and their guardian pays it out on their behalf. Yes.
