Question

Mr. Joynal inherited a lot of land. Then they traded one by one and bought more land. Some rented out the land by constructing their own installations, and some rented out as vacant land. He gets a rent of Tk 6 lakh per month. Apart from his daily necessities, he spends the rest of the money on building a new house. He collected Rs 40 lakh for shop and house rent advance. Some of which are short and long term. He also took a long-term loan of Rs 50 lakh from a bank. Which is spent on building his house. He rarely has money deposited. And 1 year never passes over it. What is the method of giving zakat to Mr. Joynal? In what way will he pay Zakat? How much money does he have to pay zakat? 8353155147


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Zakat at any time of the year, after having the required amount of wealth, does not prevent Zakat from being required in the year if it decreases some days of the year. At the same time, it is not necessary to have money in hand to make zakat necessary. On the contrary, even if it is given as a loan to someone, zakat is required on that money. At the same time, zakat is required on the money deposited in the bank. So though Mr. Joynal is not required on the land. Not even on a building built on land. But the rent that he gets from these rented houses is the amount of zakat required. So there is no doubt that Zakat is obligatory on him. So he should pay zakat every year. His method of collecting zakat will be from the day he starts counting the years. It will be seen how much money he owns in one year. What is the amount of money received as house rent and the money received as advance and the money deposited in the bank as well as the amount of gold and saplings? What is the total value of all this? It must be specified. Then after separating the necessary expenses and the debt that must be recovered this year, Zakat has to be paid at the rate of two and a half per cent on the money that is left. For example, on January 1, 2013, Mr. Joynal got a house rent of Tk 6 lakh. Excluding the cost, 5 lakh rupees remained. So Zakat on Mr. Joynal has the required amount of money. So zakat is required on him. Now, in 2014, he got a house rent of Tk 6 lakh again. But in the middle of the year, he got a lot more, and a lot less. This will not prevent zakat from being required. So now you have to pay Zakat of two and a half per cent of what you have got as rent for the house, as well as all the money in the bank, except for the necessary expenses like electricity bill, gas bill etc. 1331491245
