Q: I have a share in a certain Hospital. One year has already elapsed and the construction is still carrying on. I have absolutely no idea when it will start operating. Do I have to discharge the Zakaat of this share?
A: Zakaah is not compulsory at present. However, once the hospital is running and you receive profits on your share you will have to pay zakaah on the profits.
