كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
Book: On the Explanation of Zakat
بَابُ زَكَاةِ الْمِيرَاثِ
Zakat on inheritance
Hadith Number: 666Q1
مالك، انه قال: إن الرجل إذا هلك ولم يؤد زكاة ماله، إني ارى ان يؤخذ ذلك من ثلث ماله، ولا يجاوز بها الثلث وتبدا على الوصايا، واراها بمنزلة الدين عليه فلذلك رايت ان تبدا على الوصايا، [1/355] قال: وذلك إذا اوصى بها الميت، قال: فإن لم يوص بذلك الميت ففعل ذلك اهله فذلك حسن، وإن لم يفعل ذلك اهله، لم يلزمهم ذلك.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a person dies and he has not paid the zakat on his wealth, then zakat should be taken from one third of his wealth, not more than that, and this zakat will take precedence over his bequests, because zakat is like a debt upon him, therefore it will be given precedence over bequests. However, this ruling is when the deceased has made a bequest for the payment of zakat; if he did not make a bequest but his heirs pay it, then it is better, but it is not obligatory upon them.

قال: قال مالك: السنة عندنا التي لا اختلاف فيها، انه لا تجب على وارث زكاة في مال ورثه في دين، ولا عرض ولا دار، ولا عبد ولا وليدة، حتى يحول على ثمن ما باع من ذلك او اقتضى الحول من يوم ما باعه وقبضه.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the agreed-upon Sunnah is that zakat is not obligatory on the heir for the wealth that reaches him by way of inheritance—neither on debt, nor on goods, nor on a house, nor on a slave, nor on a female slave. However, if he sells any item from the inheritance and a year passes over its sale or the receipt of its price, then zakat will become obligatory.
