Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there zakah on restaurants? And how is this zakah paid? Is it from the sales or from the goods stored in the shop?
Answer:
It is paid from the money obtained from the restaurant. He pays zakah on it when a lunar year has passed and it has reached the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah). He pays zakah on the proceeds he obtains from the restaurant.
