Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have a sum of money, and before the lunar year of possession (hawl) had elapsed, I bought an apartment for rent. Is the zakah due on the amount I used to buy the apartment, or only on the amount remaining with me?
Answer:
If the hawl had already elapsed on the money before you bought the apartment, then you must pay zakah on the entire amount. However, if you bought the apartment before the hawl was completed on the money, then there is no zakah on the amount you used to buy it, and you pay zakah on the remainder.
