Question: Respected Mufti Sahib   Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu   I  hope that you are in sound health by the grace and Fadhl of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. I should be most grateful if you would kindly let me have a ruling (fatwa) on the following: Last year a man borrowed money from one of his friends in order to meet the necessary expenses for sending his son abroad for further academic studies.  One year has elapsed but the man has to-date failed to reimburse a single penny despite his willingness to do so.  He is now feeling very much embarrassed and shy vis-à-vis his friend.  Can Zakaat be given to the father , even though he is a sahib-e-Nisaab after deduction of his debts, being given that the amount borrowed was for his son who is Baaligh and non-Sahib-e-Nisaab and not for him? The son is still abroad and is not, as stated earlier, a Sahib-e-Nisaab.  Will my Zakaat considered to be discharged if I make the intention that it is for the son while remitting the sum to the father;  the money will be used to reimburse the loan contracted to incur expenses in favour of the son?  The problem here is that the father should not know that the money given to him is Zakaat. I would much appreciate if you could enlighten me on the matter urgently please.  I thank you in anticipation for your prompt action and hope to have your reply soon. Jazakumullah.  Wassalaam
