Zakah on land rented out for cultivation


A: Zakah on the produce of an agricultural land is obligatory upon the person who grows it even if they are tenants. The landlord is also required to pay Zakah on the rent he receives provided that it reaches the prescribed Nisab (the minimum amount on which Zakah is due) and a full lunar year elapses from the date the tenancy contract is concluded.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
