Zakah on a Rented Apartment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Also, another question regarding the topic of zakah with Shaykh Salih. It is from one of the sisters who says: I bought an apartment with my friend so that we could rent it out and it would help us with our household expenses. Does she have to pay zakah on it? And how is the zakah calculated?
The Shaykh:
The zakah is on its rental income. If you rent it out, you pay zakah on its rental income. Yes.
The questioner:
And if the amount is paid monthly and then it ends and expires.
The Shaykh:
If the lunar year (hawl) has passed, if the hawl is completed, then zakah becomes obligatory. And if it is before the completion of the hawl, then there is nothing due. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
