Previous fatwas have addressed the ruling and method for paying zakat on a monthly salary. As for the money the father took as a loan, zakat is obligatory on it every year if the father is wealthy and capable of repayment. However, if he is not, then zakat is not obligatory until the money is received, and it is then subject to zakat for one year.
