Frequently Asked Questions

Is my home subject to Zakat?

No. Your primary residence is EXEMPT from Zakat by scholarly consensus (ijma'). Only investment property and rental income are zakatable.

How is Zakat on rental income calculated?

Zakat is due on net rental income (after expenses) that has been saved for one lunar year. The rental income is added to your total cash pool and calculated together.

Is Zakat due on property I'm selling?

Yes. Property held for resale is treated as trade goods (urud al-tijara). Zakat is 2.5% of the current market value if held for one lunar year above nisab.
