Zakah on Apartments and Commercial Shops
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Ali from al-Bahah, please, Ali. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. We would like to ask the Shaykh two questions, if you please. Go ahead. Regarding my apartments and commercial shops, is there zakah on them?
The Shaykh:
If you intend to sell them, then there is zakah on them. When you sell them, you pay out one-quarter of a tenth of their value. If you rent them out, then zakah is obligatory on the rent. Zakah is obligatory on the rent if you do not intend to sell them but rather want them for rental.
The questioner:
The zakah.
The Shaykh:
On the rent. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, very well,
