Zakah on a car and how to pay it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 20173 )
Q4: Is zakah obligatory on a car, and how is it paid?
A4: If the car is for personal use, there is no zakah on it. However, if it is prepared for trade, it is considered merchandise for trade. It must be appraised when the lunar year of possession is complete from the time it was put up for sale, and one-quarter of one-tenth of its value at the time of appraisal must be paid. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
