Ruling on the zakah of wealth bequeathed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A man passed away and bequeathed an amount of 2,000 riyals to one of his brothers to use for his marriage. Several years passed between the man's death and his brother's marriage. Is zakah obligatory on this amount?
A: If he bequeathed it to a specific person, it becomes that specific person's wealth once he takes possession of it, and he must pay zakah on it once a lunar year has passed, even if the marriage is delayed. And success is from Allah.
