The questioner : The questioner says: A person who works in a taxi in America is required to pay a sum of money for car insurance to the owner. Is zakah due on this money, given that this money is refunded when the car is returned?
The Shaykh : If its refund is certain, it is like the debt that jurists call a live debt. If it reaches the nisab, or completes the nisab from the money he has in his possession, it is obligatory to pay its zakah every year; otherwise, it is not.
