2. If I have a property and no income is coming from that property then do I have to give zakaat on cost of that property?
3. I have a house in which i am not living, but i rented that house. Do I have to give zakaat on the rent I am getting from that house?
4. We have to give zakaat on gold no doubt. On what rate do we have to give zakaat? On the present rate or on the rate at which we bought it?

Q: My father died without giving the mehr money to my mother. After my father's death my mother will get the mehr money from his property. Is it necessary to give zakaat on that money calculated from the day of marriage or from the day my father died or the day my mother receives the money?

The money is sitting with him 3 years and he might return the money within a month? Do I have to pay zakaat on this money which is not in my possession for 3 years now?

Q: I have jewellery for more than a year. However, I also have a personal loan for the same amount for which I am paying monthly and interest. So I am in debt for that much of amount the worth of which I have jewellery for more than a year. So do I need to pay zakaat for this ?

Q: Can you please advise the correct procedure for calculating Zakaat in the following situations?

1. Murabaha Car Loan From Albaraka Bank

2. Musharaka House Loan From Albaraka Bank for Investment Purposes

3. Musharaka House Loan From Albaraka Bank for Personal Use

Is the total outstanding loan deducted, the loan for the year deducted or the loan for the month?

And do you first calculate how much of the property you own according to the Albaraka property share and pay zakaat on that portion only?

Q: By the time of Ramadhaan when my zakaat becomes payable I will still have in my possession the money for the flights, qurbaani and spending money, none of which will have been in my possession for longer than one year, will zakaat be payable on all these monies in my possession? I have always been under the impression that zakaat is only payable if the money, jewellery, etc., is in your possession for at least one year at the designated date that one would normally pay zakaat. However, I was recently told that it would be payable if it is in your possession as at that date irrespective of the period or when it was received.

Q: If one is not certain of the day that he turned baaligh and years have passed. He paid zakaat for some years but does not know exactly how many years he missed. What should he do?
