Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: He has cars and trucks that he rents to foreign workers for a monthly fee. Is zakah due on these cars and trucks? And how does he pay it?
Answer:
Zakah is due on the rent, but not on the cars themselves that he rents out. There is no zakah on them, just as there is no zakah on the shops he rents out. The zakah is only on the rent. Yes.
