Is there zakah on a rented house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Hello, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Is that Shaykh Khadijah? Yes, indeed, may Allah welcome you. May Allah welcome you. I say, long may you live, regarding a house that is rented out, is there zakah on it? And the rent, of course, is not spent.

Answer : A house that is rented out, and its owner intends to keep it for rental purposes, has no zakah on it. The zakah is on the rent if it remains with him until a lunar year has passed from the contract.
