What is the ruling on money earned from renting out a house that was bought with mixed funds, including Zakat paid once, money obtained through tax evasion, and bank interest?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
is obligatory on wealth if it reaches the نصاب (minimum threshold) and a whole year has passed on it. As for ill-gotten wealth ( money), zakat is not obligatory on it, and it must be disposed of.
A house purchased for profit is not subject to zakat on its intrinsic value, but rather on its income if it reaches the نصاب and a whole year has passed on it.
It is not necessary to dispose of a house purchased with mixed funds ( and haram); it is permissible to benefit from it, provided that the equivalent amount of the ill-gotten money is given to the poor and needy.
