The Ruling on Zakah in Land Purchased with a Loan from the Real Estate Fund
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I bought a piece of land with a loan from the Real Estate Fund for the purpose of trade. What is the ruling on the zakah of this land?
Answer:
I do not know how you take from the Real Estate Fund. And this fund, I mean, is of two types: an investment fund and a construction fund. They lend to those who cannot afford construction; they take a loan to build their homes. This is one type. The second type is investment, from which the rich and everyone else take. The investment type, yes, has zakah. The investment type has zakah because it is trade. Zakah becomes obligatory in it from the time the lunar year begins, from the time you take it from the state.
