Zakah on Rented Real Estate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q4: My father, may Allah have mercy on him, has two houses that are rented out for a monthly return. Is there zakah on this return that is given to the minors? I ask your Eminence to clarify
what is correct regarding the matter of the two houses, and may Allah reward you with good.
A4: If the rent from the two houses reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed since the lease contract was made, then its zakah is one-quarter of a tenth, and the guardian of the minors pays it on their behalf. However, if the rent is spent on the needs of the minors before the completion of the lunar year, there is no zakah on it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
