Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there zakah on real estate that is rented out?
Answer:
Yes, the zakah is on the rent. If a lunar year has passed on the rent from the time of the contract, you pay zakah on it if it reaches the nisab. Yes. As for the property itself, whether it is a building, an apartment, or a shop, there is no zakah on it as long as it is held for sale and not for rental. The zakah is only on the rent.
