I live in a rented house while my own home is being constructed. The contract for building my house was finalized with the contractor in the month of Rajab. Some of the payment was given in advance and the rest will be given in Ramadan. Will it be mandatory to give Zakat on the amount of payment that was delayed?
The remaining amount that has not yet been paid will be considered as a debt upon the questioned and will be deducted from his wealth before paying Zakat.
And Allah knows best.
Is Zakat due on gold that has been pawned in a bank to take a loan?
