Original Arabic text

5ـ حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ فِي الدِّينِ وَالْمَالِ الصَّامِتِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَمَّا الْغَلاَّتُ فَعَلَيْهَا الصَّدَقَةُ وَاجِبَةٌ.

Published English translation

5. Hammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from Hariz from Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Zakat is not due on loans people owe to orphans’ as well as on the orphans immoveable assets; however, it is obligatory to pay Zakat for the orphans’ grains.’”

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
