\n\tAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCan Zakat be paid in paying the debt of a person,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA needy man owes some money to another person, and you transfer the due amount from your account to that person to clear him off?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs Zakat paid?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe needy person didn't own the money or take possession of the money?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tZakat can b<\/a>e paid to a person in debt.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is part of the conditions of Zakat that the money is handed over to the actual person in need and that person assumes possession of the Zakat money.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTherefore, in this scenario, if a person were to pay directly to the person owed money to and not the needy person himself, zakat will not be fulfilled.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is in the case where the person paying the zakat did so with no command from the one in debt.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, if the person in debt were to command the person giving zakat to give it directly to whoever the money is owed to, then zakat will be fulfilled.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah SWT alone knows best.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
