As salaam mualaykum
My questions relates to Zakaat.
1. I have four children – aged 6, 8, 10 and 12, ( 12yr old is Baaligh) and have invested monies for them in “sharia compliant funds. My question is must i pay zakaat on behalf of all four children or only on behalf of my 12yr old daughter as she is baaligh.
2. My wife stopped working about 13 years ago, and had transferred her pension monies into a provident fund. She has not cashed this provident up – the money is still with the investment company. As she does not earn, must she pay zakaat on this amount, and if she has to , can i pay it on her behalf, or give her money to pay it.
