الرَّجُلِ يَنْسَى أَوْ يُعِينُ فَلَا يَزَالُ مَالُهُ دَيْناً كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فِي زَكَاتِهِ قَالَ يُزَكِّيهِ وَ لَا يُزَكِّي مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدَّيْنِ إِنَّمَا الزَّكَاةُ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَالِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the man who forgets or assists (the borrower) and his wealth does not cease to remain as outstanding debts. How should he deal with his <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should purify it (pay <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>), and he would not pay for what is upon him from the debts. But rather, the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> is upon the owner of the wealth’.
