سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الزَّكَاةِ تَجِبُ عَلَيَّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ لَا يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أُؤَدِّيَهَا قَالَ اعْزِلْهَا فَإِنِ اتَّجَرْتَ بِهَا فَأَنْتَ ضَامِنٌ لَهَا وَ لَهَا الرِّبْحُ وَ إِنْ تَوِيَتْ فِي حَالِ مَا عَزَلْتَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَشْغَلَهَا فِي تِجَارَةٍ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَعْزِلْهَا وَ اتَّجَرْتَ بِهَا فِي جُمْلَةِ مَالِكَ فَلَهَا بِقِسْطِهَا مِنَ الرِّبْحِ وَ لَا وَضِيعَةَ عَلَيْهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from the one who narrated it, from Moalla Bin Ubeyd, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from his father, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the Zakat Obligated upon me in a place it is not possible for me that I pay it. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Isolate it, for if you were to trade with it, so you would be responsible for it, and for it is the profit, and if you were to die in a state after having isolated it from that which was involved in business, so there is nothing upon you, but if you isolate it and trade with it in the entirety of your wealth, so for it is its equitable distribution from the profits, and there is no expenses (deductible) upon it’.
