He shared with another person in farming some land. Who should pay the zakaah?
Question: 105299
I have dealt with a person to give him a piece of land to farm it in return for giving me 10% of its harvest. After harvest he gave me 10%. Do I have to pay Zakah on this? Or is it him who must pay Zakah in full from his share of the harvest?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If your share reaches the nisaab or minimum threshold for
grains, then you must pay zakaah on it. If he paid zakaah on the whole
amount before giving you your share, then that is sufficient. But if he
gives you your share then he pays zakaah on his share only, then you must
pay zakaah on your share if it reaches the nisaab for grains, because you
own it at the time when zakaah becomes obligatory – which is when the grain
ripens. The nisaab of grains is three hundred saa’s of the Prophet’s saa’.
