Zakat on a mobile phone shop
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man has a shop for selling mobile phones. His income from the shop is spent on his expenses, and he does not save any of it. Is he required to pay zakat?
Answer:
Oh, camera, tape. If he spends it before the completion of the lunar year on the mobile phones, the issue is: how long do the mobile phones remain in his possession? How long do the mobile phones remain in his possession? If he holds them for a lunar year, he pays zakat on them. But if a phone comes to him today and he sells it immediately, or after two days, or before the completion of the lunar year, there is no zakat on it, yes. Unless he bought it with capital. If he bought it with capital, the consideration is the capital he used to buy it. If the lunar year passes over the capital he used to buy the goods (mobile phones), and the lunar year is completed over the capital, then he appraises the value of the goods he has and pays zakat on them, yes.
