The questioner:
No, that is not the case. The hadith regarding the zakah of the wealth of Muslims is not to be applied to water that flows over one of its narrators, and if one leaves what he left of his zakah except in his madness, it is to be applied to one of the descendants and the gatherings.
The Shaykh:
No, this is all regarding livestock, because the wealth for which collectors are sent is livestock. As for wealth other than livestock, its owners pay it; collectors do not go to collect it. The Sunnah is that collectors do not go except to collect the zakah of livestock and fruits. As for money, dirhams, and trade goods, their payment is delegated to their owners.
