Real Estate Zakat and Its Jurisprudential Rulings
摘要
This research sheds light on Zakat (obligatory charity) on real estate and its jurisprudential rulings in Islam. I clarified the meaning, both linguistically and technically, of Zakat and real estate. I explained the ruling of Zakat on commercial re-al estate and agricultural land, as well as the significance and legitimacy of Zakat in Islam. The main objectives include highlighting Zakat on commercial real estate and ex-plaining its jurisprudential rulings. The research employed both descriptive and analytical methodologies to elucidate Zakat on real estate and its jurisprudential rulings. One of the key findings is that real estate refers to immovable as-sets such as land and buildings, which may be intended for agriculture or commercial purposes. Zakat is obligatory on commercial real estate and is calculated at 2.5% of its value after reaching the Nisab (minimum threshold) and one lunar year has passed. Zakat is due on the value of these proper-ties, not on the properties themselves, as the Nisab is determined based on their value.
