Estimating the value of the two sheep in compensation and regarding the income from rent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, does a person, when it comes to the matter of the Shaykh, mention it in all cases, or does he mention it while considering the Shaykh at that time?
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. He considered the price of the sheep at every time according to its value, because the value of a sheep in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was ten dirhams. So when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified two sheep, they are valued at every time according to their worth. As for his saying, or twenty dirhams, that was the value in his time (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The questioner:
The meaning of the hadith is that the zakah is between the income and the purification of the rent.
The Shaykh:
Ownership, because it is ownership. If one owns dirhams from the income of a factory, or the rent of a shop, or the rent of a building, if he owns them, the lunar year begins from the time of the contract, from the time of the rental contract if it is a rental, or from the time he owns it if it is income. So when a lunar year has passed for it, the payment of zakah becomes obligatory, because it is money that falls under gold and silver as mentioned before. Yes.
