Abstract

Normally researchers have treated debts, debit (owned) and credit (owed), differently. The author, in this paper, argues that both should be treated together justly and consistently. That is, if the total debit loans due and deferred – are added to the zakah base, then the total credit loans-due and deferred – must be excluded from the zakah base, and so on. The author is against differentiation between debit and credit loans as to include the former in the zakah base and exclude the latter, except when they are due at that time. In this case, ‘the due’ debit loans are to be added to the zakah base and the due credit loans are to be dropped from it, because the former is like in possession and the latter is just like paid one. He arrives at this conclusion after discussing various fiqhi opinions about debit and credit loans, and their contemporary applications. الشائع في الديون المدينة والدائنة أن الباحثين يعاملون كلاً منهما على انفراد ، وفي هذا البحث اهتم الباحث بأن تكون معاملتهما واحدة ومتوازنة ، بحيث إذا أضيفت الديون المدينة كلها، حالّـة ومؤجلة ، إلى وعاء الزكاة ، وجب إسقاط الديون الدائنة كلها ، حالّـة ومؤجلة ، من وعاء الزكاة ، وهكذا . واختار الباحث عدم الالتفات إلى الديون المدينة والدائنة ، فلا تضاف المدينة إلى وعاء الزكاة، ولا تسقط الدائنة منه ، ما لم تكن حالـّة ، فعندئذٍ تضاف الديون المدينة الحالـّة إلى الوعاء ، وتسقط الديون الدائنة الحالـّة من الوعاء . ذلك لأن الحالّ في الأولى كالمقبوض، وفي الثانية كالمدفوع . كل ذلك بعد مناقشة الآراء المختلفة في الديون المدينة والدائنة ، والتعرض إلى بعض التطبيقات المعاصرة.
