I have bounced checks from my clients and I have lawsuits against other clients. To be honest, I used to consider the bounced checks as zakat since they are funds that could come in at any moment, but this is not based on any legal knowledge.

Knowing that there have been unexpected collections and checks that are in court and we are filing complaints about them, and if they want to pay, they might pay 50 or 100 per month.
