Wa alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,<\/p>\n

Zakat on retail or wholesale commercial stores \u2014 or any trade where capital is continuously circulating \u2014 is calculated as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Calculate the current value of goods at their selling price (wholesale or retail). Damaged goods, if they retain any value and can be sold, are valued at their current market price.<\/li>\n
  2. Equipment such as furniture, office items, computers, and other work tools are not<\/strong> included. Only goods prepared for sale are counted.<\/li>\n
  3. Include all liquid cash on hand, whether in a bank account or physically held.<\/li>\n
  4. Include debts owed to you by customers or distributors that are expected to be recovered. Doubtful or unlikely-to-be-recovered debts are not<\/strong> included.<\/li>\n
  5. Deduct any debts you owe, or the value of goods taken on consignment, from the total of the above items.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the remaining total reaches the Nisab threshold, then one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%)<\/strong> is due upon completion of a full lunar year (hawl).<\/p>\n

    Zakat is calculated on total capital \u2014 both goods and cash<\/strong> \u2014 not on profit alone.<\/p>\n

    And Allah knows best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","fatwa_category":[],"class_list":["post-73","fatwa","type-fatwa","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zakat-iq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fatwa\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zakat-iq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fatwa"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zakat-iq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fatwa"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zakat-iq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"fatwa_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zakat-iq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fatwa_category?post=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
