The answer

Whoever possesses wealth subject to must pay zakat once a year has passed, even if they owe a debt. The debt is not deducted from the wealth subject to zakat, and there is no difference between a deferred debt and an immediate one. The ruling does not differ between a debt owed to Allah (such as zakat, expiations, and vows) and a debt owed to human beings, due to the absolute nature of the evidence mandating zakat.
