Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «نِعْمَ اَلشَّيْءُ اَلْقَرْضُ إِنْ أَيْسَرَ قَضَاكَ وَ إِنْ أَعْسَرَ حَسَبْتَهُ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ.
It has been narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that he said: "Loaning is a good deed. If the borrower is able to repay, they will do so; and if they are unable, you can count it as part of your Zakat."
