Question
Mr., With due respect, my uncle has a business, which is located in a rented (shop) house. The landlord receives a fixed amount of money (4/5 lakh) in advance from the uncle at the time of renting the house, and the agreement is such that after the expiration of the term (3/4/5 years) the tenant (my uncle) pays the full amount in advance. Get it back. This time the money will be like a deposit. And pay the monthly rent every month as per the rules. In this case, my uncle is the main owner of the advance money, but he has no chance to use it before the expiration date. Rather the homeowner is benefiting by using it for his own needs or business. (The second purpose of receiving an advance is usually to make a profit from the money.) Therefore, the polite question to you is, who will pay the zakat of the advance money during that period? My uncle or the owner of the house? 7129139465
