The zakah on the capital of a mudarabah (profit-sharing partnership): from the profits or from the capital
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I am a partner with a person in a mudarabah (profit-sharing partnership) company. He provides the capital, and I provide the work. The question is: does the zakah on the wealth come out of the profits, or does he pay it out of the capital?
Answer:
The wealth is purified by its profit. The wealth is purified by its profit for everyone. When the lunar year of possession (hawl) is completed, the wealth is purified by its profit for everyone. This is if it has not been divided. However, if it is divided before the completion of the hawl and each person takes his share, then each person purifies his own share. But if the hawl is completed for him and it has not been divided, then it is purified for everyone. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
