Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question concerns the zakah of stocks. Okay. If a lunar year has passed over them, do I pay zakah on them or not? The question is clear. Thank you.
Answer:
Stocks fall into two categories. Stocks in fixed assets that you invest in: you pay zakah on the returns when they come to you. As for stocks offered for sale, these are like merchandise; you appraise them when the lunar year is complete and pay zakah on their value at the end of the year. Yes. Okay. May Allah reward you with good.
