If the mahr is a debt, on whom is its zakah due?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : If the mahr is a debt, on whom is the zakah due?

The Shaykh : No. If the mahr is a debt, it is upon the husband. If he has consummated the marriage, then if the amount has been specified, the zakah is due on it; if it has not been specified, the zakah is due on him.
