Do students have to pay Zakah on money from a student loan, if they have it in their possession ?
Fatawa Question
Do students have to pay Zakah on money from a student loan, if they have it in their possession ? For e.g. a person took out tuition fee loan and maintenance loan (not grant) which roughly comes to about £ 6000. From that, £ 3000 is automatically taken by the university i.e. tuition fee which leaves a person with £ 3000 to spend. He then spends £ 2000 and is left with a remainder of a £ 1000. A person who possesses this £1000 (at the time when their Zakah is due) would he or she need to pay Zakah on this money which is left surplus from their maintenance loan ?
