The answer

Debts are deducted from the land's value if there is no other money to cover them, and Zakat is paid if the remaining amount reaches the . Installments received from an association are considered a debt and are deductible, while unreceived installments are not. Zakat becomes due immediately and must be paid in the country of the muzakki (the one paying Zakat), even by proxy. Otherwise, it must be paid as soon as it is feasible.
