Including debts owing due to services in one's zakaat calculation
Question
Does a company selling internet services include the amounts due to the company for such service in the zakaat calculation?
Answer
This will not be included in the zakaat calculation. However, the money received after offering the service is zakaatable.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
