Cases in which the hairs must pay the Zakat of Inheritance
Issue No. 1613- If a person dies with a debt and also has some crops, and the heirs pay his debt from other property before zakāt on the crops becomes obligatory, the heir whose share reaches the taxable limit of zakāt should pay zakāt. However, if the heirs do not pay his debts before zakāt becomes obligatory, and if his property just equals his debt, it is not obligatory for the heirs to pay zakāt.
