Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الزكاةBook: On the Explanation of Zakat
بَابُ الزَّكَاةِ فِي الدَّيْنِZakat on debts
Hadith 668B4
قَالَ مَالِك : الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا فِي الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَعِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْعُرُوضِ مَا فِيهِ وَفَاءٌ لِمَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدَّيْنِ ، وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ النَّاضِّ سِوَى ذَلِكَ مَا تَجِبُ فِيهِ الزَّكَاةُ ، فَإِنَّهُ يُزَكِّي مَا بِيَدِهِ مِنْ نَاضٍّ تَجِبُ فِيهِ الزَّكَاةُ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The ruling regarding which there is no difference of opinion among us is that if a person possesses assets sufficient to pay off his debt, and in addition to that he has cash, then he should pay zakat on the cash.
