The Ruling on the Zakah of Rented Real Estate and Paying It from a Source Other Than the Prohibited One
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
From something about something.
The Shaykh:
Intended. It is only obligatory upon him; if he pays from something else that contradicts, it is permissible to pay the zakah from a source other than the prohibited one. If he has one hundred thousand and he has dirhams in another box, he pays from them.
The questioner:
The real estate that is rented out, the zakah is upon.
The Shaykh:
As he intended for sale. If he has real estate worth a million and he rents it out for one hundred thousand, he pays zakah on the one hundred thousand when the lunar year has passed. However, if he consumes it before the lunar year has passed or pays it off, there is no zakah on it.
