The zakah on commercial establishments if they are sold before the lunar year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question. He says: My brother has commercial shops, and he sold them before the zakah became due, and a friend of his bought them. Who pays the zakah?
Answer:
Each person pays the zakah on what he owns. So the one who sold the shops pays zakah on their value if a lunar year has passed since the intention to sell, and the one who bought them, if he wants them for trade, also pays zakah on trade goods. But if he wants them as real estate for holding, there is no zakah on them unless he rents them out. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
