Is zakat obligatory on a building inherited by five daughters and one son from their father, knowing that their mother is deceased, and one of the apartments is occupied by one of the sisters without rent due to her difficult circumstances, and another apartment is designated for family gatherings, while the remaining apartments are rented out and the brother is responsible for collecting the rent and spending it on renovations and repairs?
There is no zakat due on rented apartments. Zakat is only obligatory on the rent received from them, if a full year has passed over it and each individual's share reaches the nisab (which is equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver), either by itself or by combining it with other funds.
