Zakat Expert

I have a student loan. Would this count as a liability?

 

If you are not currently repaying your loan, it is not deductible. If you are repaying your loan, only 12 months worth is deductible. As a god-fearing individual everyone who takes out a loan should do so in good faith (with knowledge that it is first of all, not a haram contract and it was a necessity, secondly that you intend to repay it). If you are genuinely (not) able to pay it, in that Lunar period then the above opinion is applicable.

And Allah knows best.
