The questioner : My husband sold a piece of land to my deceased mother for forty thousand riyals and took the amount because he needed it, and every so often he gave me a thousand riyals or one thousand and five hundred riyals from this amount. The question is: Is there zakah on the amount? If so, what is its amount? And is it on me or on the husband?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for a man to take anything from the inheritance of the one he inherited from except after the legal division, because this is injustice and consuming wealth without right.
As for the zakah on the money, if the one who withheld it is able to withhold it until his heart is pleased, then there is no zakah on the heirs. But if he is not able to do so, and they are able to take their right from him, then the zakah is on it. Yes.
