Q: One is in the process of purchasing a property and pays the deposit to a bank & not the seller of the property. The bank then issues a guarantee (to the sum of the cash deposited) in favour of the seller of the property.

At one’s Zakaat date the property has not yet been transferred and the cash is still at the bank in the form of a guarantee. Is such cash then Zakaatable?
