  1. You have the Nisaab of Zakaat, but before one year can pass with this amount you lose some money, and the amount becomes less than the Nisaab. In this case Zakaat is not waajib.
  2. A person has the Nisaab of Zakaat, however he is in debt to the same amount. Zakaat is not waajib upon him.
  3. You are in debt. But after subtracting the amount you owe from the Zakaat assets the balance still amounts to the Nisaab. In this case Zakaat remains waajib.
