Zakat

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.

I paid my zakat ul fitr by myself and for myself only even though my father is the head of the household. The reason i did this is bcause he does not pray and has cursed the deen on three or four occasions and therefore if i let him pay it on my behalf i was not sure if it was valid or accepted. I consider him to be a definite kaafir. Is what i did correct? And what should my mother and sister do? —
