Zakah on Buildings Prepared for Rental
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question from one of the brothers. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I have three buildings that I rent out. Is the zakah due on the amount received from these rentals, or on the buildings themselves?
Answer:
If the buildings are prepared for rental and he does not intend to sell them, then the zakah is due on their rental income, provided it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed since the contract. The lunar year begins from the contract. Yes?
