Ruling on the zakah of money saved to build a residence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q57: The questioner says: I have a sum of money that I have saved to build a house, and we have no one to support us. Is zakah due on this amount that I have saved for the purpose of building a residence? And how is it to be paid?
A57: If you have accumulated coins, and they reach the nisab or more, and a lunar year has passed over them, then zakah is obligatory on them, even if you intend to build a residence with them, or to buy a need from among your needs, as long as they are coins that have reached the nisab, and a lunar year has passed over them while they are your property, then zakah is obligatory on them.
