Grown-up (have arrived at the period of pubescence)

Muslim (Zakat isn't paid by non-Muslims)

Rational

In complete responsibility for Nisab

Contrasts of assessment:

The vagrant

The kid (pre-pubescence)

The frantic/crazy

The three schools of law other than the Hanafi school express that Zakat ought to be paid on qualifying abundance possessed by the vagrant, kid and the crazy .


The three schools of law consider the responsibility for arriving at the Nisab as the driving component behind the Zakat commitment. Moreover, the youngster, crazy and vagrant's abundance will likewise profit from the refinement of abundance because of the instalment of Zakat.


The Hanafi school thinks about the component of love in Zakat and thus believes that Zakat isn't restricting on the vagrant, youngster and crazy. Since these people are not obliged to perform love, they are not obliged to pay Zakat. Notwithstanding, on the off chance that an individual has discontinuous mental soundness, they will be expected to pay Zakat. Just an individual with constant craziness and mental inadequacy is excluded from Zakat .
