Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says that he collects house rent, and the lunar year has completed for him. Does he owe zakah?
Answer:
If the lunar year completes for the house rent, from the time of the contract, the rent contract, then zakah becomes obligatory on him, whether he has received it or not. He must pay zakah on it, because if he has not received it, it is a debt owed to him by the tenant, so he pays zakah on it. And if he has received it, it is known that if the lunar year completes while he possesses it, its zakah becomes obligatory, and he must hasten to pay it out. This is the time for paying zakah, upon the completion of the lunar year. Yes.
