Zakat On Stolen, Lost Or Destroyed Property
Is zakat due on zakatable property that is stolen, lost or destroyed?
Zakat is not due on zakatable property that is accidentally stolen, lost or destroyed before its zakat is distributed; though zakat is due on property destroyed intentionally, which amounts to misappropriation because zakat is a debt obligation to the deserving recipient.
