The zakah on shares and land if what remains after payment is insufficient for the owner
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I have shares and land, and a lunar year has passed over them, but if I pay their zakah, I will not have enough money to sustain myself. So, is zakah obligatory on me in this situation, and will it remain a debt on me?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the zakah is a debt in your trust. You pay it when you are able, even if it is delayed. It remains a debt in your trust until you are able to pay it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. It has ended.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
