Zakat on merchandise

Islamkingdom_ar25 Nov, 2019Religion

The Ruling of Zakah on Merchandise It is compulsory due to Allah’s statement: “O you who believe spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned” (Al- Baqarah: 267). The majority of scholars have declared that the motive of this verse is Zakah on commercial goods. Allah also said: : “Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth.” (At- Taubah: 103). The money used in business is one of the most manifest wealth; it is therefore imperative to pay Zakah on it.
