Question:
Is zakat due upon a childthat hasn't reached the age of puberty? If
the money was saved for thechild from gifts, and the money was kept in
the bank for a number of years, will the zakat payment be the
responsibility of the parents- to deduct the applicable amounts. If
the zakat wasn't deducted, will this amount be due at the point the
child reaches puberty from all previousyears?
Answer:
Al-Salam `alaykum
One of the conditions for Zakah becoming obligatory on a person is
maturity (bulugh).
Thus a child, who has not reached the age of puberty, is not liable
for Zakah on any assets he or she possesses. It is therefore not
required to deduct any amount for Zakah for previous years. Upon
reaching puberty theZakah year of such a child, who possesses
Zakatable assets, will begin and the first payment of Zakah willbe
made one year after this date.

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
