If the share of each disabled woman reaches the (85 grams of gold), then becomes obligatory on it. Her guardian must pay it when a year has passed. The obligation of zakat on the wealth of disabled women, even if they have not reached puberty or are mentally incapacitated, is the view of the Shafi'i, Hanbali, and Maliki schools, and it is the most preponderant opinion.
