1) A brother buys a house in India with zakaat money for a poor woman. The woman has no income. So the brother decides to buy another house in India with zakaat money with the intention that the 2nd house will be the income for the poor woman. So is it permissible for the brother to make a 2nd house for the poor woman with zakaat money? If he does make the second house and makes the poor woman the owner, does the woman need to pay zakaat from the rent income or from the house?
2) A brother has another house which has been given out for rent. The mortgage that he pays monthly is more than the rent income he gains from the house. Does zakaat become compulsory from the rent money? And what if the rent he recieves is more than the mortgage he pays?
wassalaam, jazakumullaah
