Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Normally when zakat is discharged, liabilities are deducted for a month (bills, mortgage etc)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What if a person who intends on going for hajj and is waiting for his passport to come and before making the payment for hajj his zakat date comes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So he\u2019s hopeful of getting his passport on time so he can go for hajj but obviously not 100% sure, so can that expected hajj expense be deducted or will it not be deducted?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When one pays his Zakat, his debts and other such liabilities are deducted from the Zakatable amount. However in this context, a debt is defined as an amount of wealth which is owed to a person or entity; as opposed to an amount of wealth which one owes in order to fulfill a religious obligation (e.g. a vow\/ \u0646\u064e\u0630\u0652\u0631, expiation\/Kaffarah, or an upcoming Hajj expense).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your upcoming potential Hajj expense is not considered to be a liability during the time in which your Zakat is due. It is simply a sum of money which you have set aside for an expected Hajj. The money you saved up for Hajj shall not be considered to be a debt, as it is not owed to a person nor an entity. It is an amount which you accumulated in order to fulfill your religious obligation. Hence this potential expense will not be deducted from your Zakatable wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will have to pay Zakat on the money which you set aside for Hajj, along with your other Zakatable wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
