Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: This man asks, saying: I have had shares for five years, and I want to pay the zakah on these shares. How is the zakah on these shares to be paid?
Answer:
You appraise them and value them at what they are worth at the end of the lunar year, and you pay one-quarter of a tenth of their value, which is what they are worth each year, for every year that passes over them, as long as you intend to sell them. If you intend to sell these shares, they are for trade. Yes.
