The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that zakah is due on it. Zakah is due on all wealth that is stored. However, the question is who pays the zakah: is it the pledgor, or the pledgee who holds it, or both of them together?
By Allah, I do not know right now. I do not have an answer. The issue is debatable.
Fine.
