The questioner:

Another questioner:
If you have lent it out.
The Shaykh:
Do you have?
Another questioner:
No, it is money lent to people that you are to pay zakah on while it is a loan with them.

That is, if you lend it to them for a year, if they are wealthy, you pay zakah on it; if they are poor, you do not pay zakah.

This is what he knows about, Shaykh.

My brother, I...
