She says her daughter has a bank account where she puts her university allowance.

She says that a year has passed over it, and the mother took out, she took out the zakat on her daughter's money without her daughter's knowledge. She asks: is it a condition that she knows?

Zakat is due on the wealth, not on the person. That is why we say that zakat.

The zakat that is due on a person, some zakat is due on wealth and some is due on bodies. What is due on bodies is like zakat al-fitr, but what is due on wealth, it is not a condition that the person.

That the person intends it for it to be accepted from him. Rather, it is due on his wealth. That is why it may be, when is zakat on wealth due?

In that, even for a minor, even if he is a minor, it is due on him. If he is insane and owns wealth, or also an elderly man who has become senile and aged.

He should not say: if he has wealth, his guardians must pay the zakat.

Intention is not a condition for its validity, so we say that if a woman pays zakat on her own wealth, or her husband's, or her daughter's, we say it is valid, but.

For her, as a mother, if she pays zakat on behalf of her daughter because the right belongs to the parent, whether father or mother, in managing it, we say this is permissible.

But if she informs her about it, that is good, because it is a right of Allah, Verheven en Hoog is Hij, and a right of the person to know about the management of his wealth, but a person should not manage the wealth of a stranger.

A stranger, for example, pays zakat or something similar only with documented contracts, as is the case with banks that, for example, pay zakat.

On the deposited funds based on contracts approved by the owners of the wealth, or also large joint-stock companies.

Which have large amounts of money, so they pay it on behalf of all the shareholders, based on contracts that have been agreed upon. In such cases, we say there is no problem with that, and Allah knows best.
