The Zakah on the Rented Property of the Deceased Mother

Question:
Sister, the daughter of 'Abdullah, actually sent us a long message. We have summarized this message so that we can present the concise questions of the brothers and sisters. The summary states that my mother had a building, and my mother has passed away. It consists of ten apartments, and my mother did not pay the zakah on it due to her ignorance. Her mother had a building, O Shaykh, and she was renting out this building of ten apartments, and she did not pay the zakah on this building and the apartments. She says: We are now her daughters; do we have to pay the zakah on it?

Answer:
The zakah on its rent, you mean? There is no zakah on the building itself, but there is zakah on its rent if a lunar year has passed since the time of the lease agreement, in which case the zakah becomes obligatory on it. And if she spent it before the lunar year had passed, then there is nothing due on it. Yes.
