It is permissible to give zakat to a indebted brother who cannot find a way to pay off his debts. Each partner must pay zakat on his share of the joint business if it reaches the nisab and a year has passed, even by combining it with his money and other assets. However, the wealth of one partner is not combined with the wealth of the other to complete the nisab.
