LessonsThe Book of Zakat: Obligation, Liability Conditions and IntentionQuiz

Liability conditions: personal capacity, complete nisab, full ownership, an applicable year, and correct accounting for debt and personal-use property.

Performance condition: intention accompanying payment or segregation of the sum due.

The distinction matters: when liability never arose, no zakat is owed; where it has arisen, mere transfer of money does not ordinarily bypass the intention requirement.
