Question
Is it permissible for the heirs of a deceased to pay his outstanding Zakaat?
Answer
If the deceased had not made a wasiyyat (bequest) to this effect, then it is not permissible to pay his Zakaat from his estate without the willing consent of all the adult heirs. If all the heirs consent, then the payment will be from their shares, not from the shares of minors.
