The Ruling on the Zakah of Commercial Telecommunications Revenue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: We have a large commercial telecommunications company, so how do we pay its zakah?
Answer:
The revenue. You pay the zakah from the revenue. If you accumulate revenue in the form of dirhams from this company, and a lunar year passes over it, and it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), and a lunar year passes over it, you pay zakah on it. This is because it is prepared for leasing, and what is prepared for leasing does not have zakah in itself; rather, the zakah is on its revenue.
