Professional or service orientated businesses e.g. lawyers, doctors, plumbers etc. should not capture monies owing to them for services rendered. The ‘Debtors Section’ should be used for this.

Polices

For conventional (non-Sharia compliant policies) first establish the premiums paid to date and the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not) and pay on the lesser amount as only that portion that equals your contributions (i.e. premiums) is halal. In other words, reduce current value by the amount of interest accrued.

For Sharia compliant policies pay Zakaat on the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not).

Zakaat is payable on all monies owing to you if you have a reasonable expectation that such monies are secure (will be paid).

Partnership
