Zakah for one who owns a source of income.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a shop where I sell and buy, and I have no other income. I spend from it on myself and my children. Is zakah obligatory on me?
Answer:
Answer: If you have money that reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it, then you must pay its zakah. Or if you have goods that you have held for sale and a lunar year has passed over their value, then you must appraise them at their current worth and pay zakah on that. The important point is that if you have coins that have reached the nisab and a lunar year has passed over them, zakah is obligatory on them. Or if you have goods that you have prepared for sale and a lunar year has passed over their value—meaning their value, not the price you bought them for—then you must appraise them at their current worth, total them up, and pay one-quarter of one-tenth.
