Wealth on which zakaat has not been paid

· 13 Shaʻban 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the status of wealth on which zakaat is not paid. I am a student and my father does not pay zakaat. Is it permissible for me to use the money he gives me for all my needs, studies, etc?

Answer

Yes. However your father should be advised and educated regarding the obligation of zakaat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
