Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Damascus asks: Is there zakah in a woman's bridal gift? And if she has not received it, but her husband is able to pay it, please guide us in light of this question?
Answer:
Yes, there is zakah in it if she is able to receive it and it is with a wealthy person; so she owes zakah. But if it is with a person who is unable to pay, or if he is delaying her and withholding it from her, then she does not owe zakah. But if he is wealthy and she is able to receive it from him, then she owes zakah on it, paying it every year. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
