Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)







There is no Zakat upon anyone who has a debt encompassing his money. But, if his money is more than the debt, he pays Zakat on the excess if it reaches Nisab. (Quduri)



For Example, if you add all the Zakatable assets and then subtract it from the liabilities and the left over reaches the rate of Nisab, then Zakat will become Fardh otherwise not.



(Zakatabul Assets - Liabilities)







And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
