Zakah on the lender.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
My wife lent me a sum of money several years ago. Is there zakah on this money, knowing that I am unable to repay it?

Answer:
Answer: The zakah is on her. The zakah is on the lender because it is the lender's money, not your money. You pay zakah on your money, and she pays zakah on her money.
