رَجُلٍ فَرَّطَ فِي إِخْرَاجِ زَكَاتِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ حَسَبَ جَمِيعَ مَا كَانَ فَرَّطَ فِيهِ مِمَّا لَزِمَهُ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ ثُمَّ أَوْصَى بِهِ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ ذَلِكَ فَيُدْفَعَ إِلَى مَنْ يَجِبُ لَهُ قَالَ جَائِزٌ يُخْرَجُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَالِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ دَيْنٍ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ لَيْسَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يُؤَدُّوا مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abbad Bin Suheyb, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who omitted the extraction of his <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> during his lifetime. So when the death presented itself to him, he counted the entirety of what he had omitted from what been Imposed upon him from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>, then bequeathed that it be extracted and handed over to the one it is Obligated upon (to be handed over to)’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allowed. That would be extracted from the entirety of the wealth. But rather, it would be at the status of a debt, had it been upon him. There would not be anything for the inheritors until what he had bequeathed with from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>, is paid over’.
