Zakah on unpaid mahr
|
|
Bismillah ArRahman ArRaheem
Assalamu alaikum. If a husband has not yet paid the mahr to his wife, but the amount of mahr agreed upon between them at the time of marriage is known to both of them, is the wife responsible for paying zakat every year on the mahr that she has not yet received?

Bismillaah-ir-Rahmaan-ir-Raheem.
Assalaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh.
A woman is not obliged to pay Zakaah on her dowry before receiving it. (Fataawa Darul Uloom Vol.6, Durrul Mukhtaar, Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah)
And Allaah knows best.
Wassalaam.
