Zakat on merchandise given on credit

What is the law for Zakat on merchandise given on credit that is received before the passing of one’s Zakat year and its payment is made afterwards?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Regarding business transactions, the principle for giving Zakat due on merchandise given in credit is that on the day in which Zakat is due one must calculate the value of all merchandise on which Zakat is payable, including that given on credit, then give 2.5% of it in Zakat. However, for merchandise given on credit, one may also delay paying its Zakat until its payment is made instead of giving it on the day Zakat is due.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کمافی الدرالمختار: (و) اعلم أن الديون عند الإمام ثلاثة: قوي، ومتوسط، وضعيف؛ (فتجب) زكاتها إذا تم نصابا وحال الحول، لكن لا فورا بل (عند قبض أربعين درهما من الدين) القوي كقرض (الی قولہ) ويعتبر ما مضى من الحول قبل القبض في الأصح، الخ (2/305)۔
وفی الھندیة: وأما سائر الديون المقر بها فهي على ثلاث مراتب عند أبي حنيفة - رحمه الله تعالى - ضعيف، وهو كل دين ملكه بغير فعله لا ( الی قولہ) وقوي، وهو ما يجب بدلا عن سلع التجارة إذا قبض أربعين زكى لما مضى كذا في الزاهدي. الخ (1/175)۔
