Question:
The questioner says: A man owns two apartments. The first is rented out for a monthly fee, and the second he uses as a base for the trade he owns. What is the zakah on them?
Answer:
As for the shop he uses for buying and selling, and in which he resides for the purpose of buying and selling, there is nothing due on it. As for the shop he rents out, he pays zakah on the rent he receives from it. As for the shop itself that is rented out, there is no zakah due on it; the zakah is only on the rent. Yes.
