Zakah on chalets prepared for rental
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have chalets and rest houses prepared for rental, but they are not yet completed; they are in the finishing and construction phase. Is there zakah on them? Please note that the expected rental amount is unknown.
Answer:
There is no zakah on them in themselves, but rather the zakah is on their yield. So if you obtain a yield and rent from them, the lunar year (hawl) is calculated based on the contract. The hawl is seen based on the contract, not on the receipt of the rent, but on the contract, on the lease contract. If the hawl completes on the lease contract, you pay zakah on the rent. Yes.
