How to Calculate Zakah on Rental Income
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How do we pay zakah on rent and salary, especially since some people do not pay the rent until the end of the year?
Answer:
If a lunar year has passed over the rent, you must pay zakah on it, whether it is in your possession or in the possession of the tenant. If the lunar year has completed and the rent is still there, you pay zakah on it. However, if you received it before the completion of the year and spent it on your needs, you owe no zakah. You owe zakah if you received it and a lunar year passed over it, or if it remained with its owner and he paid it when the lunar year was completed; in that case, you pay zakah on it. Yes.
