Is zakat obligatory on inherited buildings from which rent is spent on minor siblings and debt repayment, knowing that the heir lives in the father's house?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Zakat is obligatory on money and trade goods if they reach the waṣāb (minimum threshold) and a hawl (one lunar year) has passed over them, at a rate of a quarter of a tenth (2.5%), after deducting any debts. However, real estate designated for housing or rent is not subject to Zakat.
