The Ruling on the Zakah of Real Estate Shares Offered for Sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks about real estate shares whose profit I do not know, nor when they will be distributed, nor their loss, and I am unable to sell them in order to pay their zakah. The question is: Do I pay zakah on them every year, or do I pay it once when they are distributed?
Answer:
You pay zakah on all of them if they are shares in land offered for sale. Either you appoint the broker who has the land to pay zakah on this land every year on your behalf—he assesses its value and pays the zakah—or each person pays zakah on his share of this land, because they are goods offered for sale.
