Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Our father (may Allah have mercy on him) left us commercial shops, and we collect the rent from these shops. Sometimes a lunar year passes over it and we have not divided it. So, is there zakah on it if a lunar year passes over it before the division?
Answer:
Each one pays zakah on his share. Yes, each of the heirs pays zakah on his share of this money when he receives it. Yes.
