Zakah on a building prepared for rental
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: We have a large commercial property, so how do we pay its zakah?
The Shaykh:
The income. You pay the zakah from the income if you have accumulated income in the form of currency from this large property, and a lunar year has passed over it, and it has reached the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), and a lunar year has passed over it, then you pay its zakah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Because it is prepared for rental, and what is prepared for rental does not have zakah in itself; rather, the zakah is on its income. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
