Obligation Of Zakat On Children
Must children pay zakat?
Children do not pay zakat; neither is the guardian obligated to pay zakat on behalf of the child from the child's wealth, nor is one expected to pay zakat for one's childhood; zakat is only obligatory on the zakat-eligible child upon puberty, where actual payment is due one lunar year after puberty.
