Zakaat on land and buildings

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركات

Q: If I have a house in my name but I myself am not using it, rather, it is being used by someone else who is NOT paying rent, am I supposed to pay Zakaat on the house/ property being the owner of it?

جزاك اللهُ خيراً

 

 

 

Answer

Assalaamu alaykum

There is no Zakaat payable on land and buildings, hence you do not have to pay Zakaat on the house.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
