Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Yes, inform the honorable one. This questioner says: A man has money with which he wants to buy a house to live in. The question is: Is zakah obligatory on this money?
Answer:
Yes, if he has dirhams that he has gathered to get married with, or to buy a house with, or to pay off a debt he owes, and a lunar year has passed over them, and they reach the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), then zakah is obligatory on them, provided he has not paid out a quarter or a half of them.
