Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: This real estate prepared for rental, is there zakah on it?
Answer:
The zakah is on the rent, unless he intends to sell it. If he intends to sell it, and a lunar year has passed while he intends to sell it, then he values it at its equivalent price and pays its zakah. But if he intends it for rental only, then the zakah is obligatory on the rent. Yes.
