I`m a tradesman and don`t know how to calculate the Zakah due on trading items. Hawl (Zakah year) has lapsed only over some of the goods; some have been damaged and I might return them to the owner.

Also, people owe me money; some of which are repayable and some are unrepayable. I`m also indebted and have taxes and expenses to pay.

This is in addition to my own private money, car and house and other items not set for trade. My wife has also adornment gold, in addition to gold for saving.
