Zakah on money invested in a shareholding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I invested in a share and it was not paid out until after a year and a half, knowing that after one year had passed, I had no money from it.
The Shaykh:
What did you invest in?
The questioner:
If I invested in a share and it was not paid out until after a year and a half, knowing that after one year had passed, I had no money from it. He says: How do I pay the zakah? Do I pay it for the year or for the year and a half?
The Shaykh:
You do not pay zakah for a year and a half; there is no such thing as a year and a half. When a year has passed, you pay its zakah. The half is not counted unless the second year is completed; then it is counted as a second year.
Another questioner:
Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
