Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, when does a Muslim pay the zakah on real estate rents if he receives them after the lunar year has passed? Does he wait a year, or does he pay it immediately upon receipt?
Answer:
Whatever debts, whether rents or otherwise, have been outstanding for a year, even if they are in the hands of people, if he trusts that he will receive them, he pays their zakah, even if he has not yet received them. Yes.
