Zakah on Rented Apartments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a building consisting of ten apartments, and I rent them out every year. What is the ruling on the zakah of these apartments, O Shaykh?
Answer:
There is no zakah on the apartments themselves; the zakah is on the rent. If you receive the rent, or if it is a debt owed by the tenants before you receive it, and a lunar year has passed over it, then you pay zakah on the rent. Yes.
