Zakah on the rent of rented houses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a woman who owns houses that she rents out for twenty thousand each. She asks: Do I pay zakah on this money when I receive the rent from the tenants?
Answer:
It is obligatory to pay zakah when you receive the rent. You pay it out once a lunar year has passed since the contract. You pay one-fifth of one-tenth, or if you have not received it and it is in the liability of the tenant, but you are able to take it when you ask him for it, you pay zakah on it once a lunar year has passed, even if it is in the liability of the tenant. Yes.
