Is zakat obligatory on 8,000 US dollars that a father deposited for his eight-year-old daughter as an aid for her marriage, given that this amount is deposited in the mother's name? If it is obligatory, how much is its amount? And what is the amount of Zakat al-Fitr that must be given for one person, knowing that the state spends approximately 11 euros on him daily?
According to the majority of scholars, is obligatory on the wealth of a minor, and the guardian or trustee is responsible for its disbursement. If the father is the guardian of the daughter's wealth, he must pay zakat on the saved money if it reaches the (minimum threshold) and a full year has passed over it. If the father entrusts the mother with the guardianship of the wealth or authorizes her to disburse the zakat, then the mother must disburse it. However, if he does not entrust her with this, she is not permitted to disburse it without his permission. The guardian must pay zakat from the wealth of a minor and an insane person. If it is not paid, then they must pay it after reaching maturity and recovering their sanity, respectively.
