Question: I have lent some
money to a close relative who is going through tough times in his life.
I want to know if I am liable to pay Zakah on the money I have lent?
Answer: You
are not liable to pay Zakah on the amount you have lent for such
purposes if your date for Zakah giving arrives. It is serving the
needs of the society. You will be now liable for Zakah once you
receive the money
