Paying the debts of an insolvent person out of Zakah


367

A: Paying the debt of the insolvent does not substitute for paying the Zakah of the wealth of the orphans or others. Allah ordered the payment of Zakah which means paying it to its due recipients and allowing him to own it. Paying the debt does achieve this. And Allah knows best.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
