The Ruling on the Zakah of Real Estate Designated for Sale or Rental
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is the zakah due on the rental income of real estate, or on the value of the property itself?
Answer:
For real estate intended for sale, the zakah is due on it, or one must pay one-fourth of a tenth of its value. If he sells it, he pays one-fourth of a tenth of the sale price. As for real estate prepared for rental, the zakah is due on the rent, and that is where the zakah lies; the zakah is on the rent, not on the property itself.
