Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the wealthy person who delays payment have to pay zakah on the money he has, or does he not?

Answer:
Zakah is obligatory on every Muslim who possesses what is subject to zakah; it is obligatory for him to pay it if a lunar year has passed and he has reached the nisab or more. Yes.
