Eligibility of Receiving Zakāt When In Debt

Assalam Alaykum w w, I asked a question a couple of weeks ago about my brother in law if he was eligible for zakat, he is a divorcee with 1 11 year old child, he does work but literally just gets by. He doesn’t have any assets. He is also in debt with a lot of people which he had done deliberately to please his wife. Recently he has been in an accident where he has broken 1 leg and 1 arm, which has been operated on. So he wants to go back to work because he has no income to support himself and his son. Please would appreciate a reply, as everyone has different views on whether he is eligible for zakat. Jazakallah Khair.

Zakāt on undistributed inheritance due to family dispute or legal problems

A person’s father had passed away 19 years ago and he left behind some money (savings in bank account). The family had no access to this money until a few days ago. Now the money has been distributed according to islamic inheritance. They knew they would receive the money eventually but didn’t know how much. The question the family are asking is, do they now have to pay zakat for the past 19 years for their share?

Rental & Mortgage Zakāt

1) Someone has a second property given out on rent, what do they pay Zakat on? Rental or on property valuation?
2) If they have a second property, but also have mortgage on that property, do they pay Zakat? If they do, then on what ?
