No, Zakat is given for Muslims only, however, you may give charity to non-Muslims if they are poor and deserving.

Yes. Only if you asked him for it and he refuses to give it back or apologizes for being unable to give it back, only in this case you don’t have to pay zakat until he returns it to you.

I wanted to find out if someone makes the intention to pay more zakat just in case they’ve got an unintended shortfall somewhere along the line if this is ok and how to do it and if there isn’t a shortfall then if the extra counts as something else ie sadaqah?

Sheikh, my wife says her mom gave her certain amount of gold which is above nisab level, problem is its not under my possession or under my wife possession, i never know how much they gave her, its not with her right now, its been more than 7months, and i dont think i can exercise full rights on the gold without anyones permission, so in that case am i responsible to pay zakat ?

Your wife is responsible for paying the zakat on her gold. If she can’t get hold of it and she is unable to sell it because they are keeping it and not releasing it, there is no zakat on her until she receives it.

Zakat money must be given to the poor and needy. But if he deals with Riba, you shouldn’t give him from the zakat as this would encourage him to borrow more and more as long as there are people paying it for him.
