If the zakah collector takes the zakah from the property of one of the two partners in livestock, what is the position of the other?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
His EminenceThe Shaykh : In the case of two partners in livestock, if the zakah collector takes the zakah from the property of one of them, what is the position of the other? I mean, with respect to the first one?
The Shaykh : If the zakah collector takes from the property of one of the two partners, he has recourse against the other for the share of this zakah that is due from him. For example, if one has forty and the other has twenty, he has recourse against him for one-third if the owner of the forty is the one who paid it, and he has recourse against him for two-thirds if it was taken from the property of the owner of the twenty. Is that clear? Because the mixed property is like a single property. Yes.
