Question: Assalam o alaikum...i've paid for a shop
that is going to be constructed & delivered in 1.5 year time...the
intention is to earn rental income of the shop...since no income will be
generated by the shop during this time till handover do I need to pay zakat on
the money I paid for shop? Answer: بِسْمِ
اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم In the Name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In
principle, zakāh is
only paid on land or property which one buys with the intention of selling. Zakāh is not paid on a property one buys with the
intention of renting it out or using it as a shop. Therefore, you do not need
to pay zakāh on the value of the land on which
you intend to construct the shop or the value of the shop, neither now nor when
the construction has finished. Needless to say, you
must pay zakāh on the income generated from that
shop and on the value of the merchandise in the shop at the end of your zakāh year.[1] And Allah Ta'ala
knows best. Muhammad Haris Siddiqui Checked and approved by: Mufti Munib Ahmad

تشترط نية التجارة لأنه لما لم تكن للتجارة خلقة فلا يصير لها الا بقصدها فيه و
ذلك هو نية التجارة (فتح القدير، 2/217، الفكر) لكنا لا نوجب الزكاة في العروض إن لم
تكن للتجارة بالإجماع............وإذا اشترى عرضاً بدراهم أو دنانير، فالمشترى لا
يصير للتجارة؛ إلا إذا نوى التجارة (المحيط البرهاني في الفقه النعماني (2/ 246 ( منها كون النصاب ناميا) حقيقة بالتوالد و
