Chapter on Zakat of the Wealth of the Absent Person, Debt, and Loan
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لَهُ اَلْوَدِيعَةُ وَ اَلدَّيْنُ فَلاَ يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِمَا ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُهُمَا مَتَى تَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ اَلزَّكَاةُ قَالَ» إِذَا أَخَذَهُمَا ثُمَّ يَحُولُ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَوْلُ يُزَكِّي«.
And from him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibrahim ibn Abi Mahmud, who said:
I (narrator) said to Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “A man has a deposit and a debt, but he does not reach them, then he takes them. When does zakat become obligatory upon him?” Imam عليه السلام said: “When he takes them, then a year passes over them, he pays zakat.”
