This is because the funds are practically accessible to you at any time. However, if the loan is not yet due, or if the borrower is unable or unwilling to repay it, then zakat is not obligatory on it since the money is neither in your possession nor accessible to you.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff50b76658b4c232a40","tag":"Zakat: Al-Mal","count":57}],"createdOn":"2024-12-29T23:17:44.002Z"}
