00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			There's a question. Is zakat
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			payable on rent received from a property
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			or on the valley? Yes.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			Earnings.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			So property
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			is not zakatable
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			unless it's a trade good, which is separate
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			matter, but just normal property that one owns.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			But if you have earnings from your property,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			then that's considered with the other zakatibul categories.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Seekers guidance, of course, has a very useful
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			zakat calculator as well. And if you're looking
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			to give your zakat, strongly consider the Seeker's
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			guidance Islamic Scholars Fund for your zakat.
