Zakah on Real Estate Prepared for Rental
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s case: A man has a house and shops that he rents out. He asks us about the zakah.
Answer:
He pays zakah on the rent. If he did not intend to sell them but intended to rent them out, there is no zakah on the property itself, but there is zakah on the rent. He pays zakah on the rent if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), or if he combines it with other money he has and a lunar year has passed, he pays zakah on it along with his other money.
