Zakat on Businesses

If you have a business, all stock in trade is liable for

zakat, including land and real estate that has been
bought for the purpose of resale.

Recipients of Zakat
Zakat al Fitr
Index

Raw materials and goods produced for sale are also

subject to zakat. The buildings, machinery, vehicles and
so on that are essential for the business are exempt
from zakat.

Exam ple: Amir owns a biscuit

factory. When calculating the zakat
that the business owes, he takes
into account the monetary value of
all the biscuit ingredients he has in
stock and all the unsold biscuits
stored in storage.
The factory building, machinery and
equipment are not taken into
account when calculating zakat.
