Question
I entrusted my Zakaat to a relative to distribute to the poor. Before he could distribute it, he died. When I asked his wife for the money, she denied having any knowledge of it. What is the position of my Zakaat?
Answer
If the money cannot be located, you have to pay your Zakaat again. Since your relative has not distributed the money, your Zakaat obligation remains.
