Monthly Al Kawthar•zakat-fitra•

Question

Alhamdulillah! Allah has given me some wealth. I pay zakat on this wealth every year at the beginning of Ramadan. A devout business friend of mine took a loan of Rs 5 lakh from me about 3 years ago for a period of 3 years. After 3 years, he paid that money a month before this Ramadan. The thing I know from the Mufti is that I did not have this five lakh rupees for the last three years, now this year I have to pay Zakat on this money along with other assets? 9289385631

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Yes, you have to pay Zakat this year along with other assets. Because, even if it was not in your hands, you were the owner of this money. And there was hope to get it, so you have to pay zakat this year as well as the previous years. 6182178128
