Zakaat on a House Not Yet Registered On One’s Name

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is zakaat paid on money that has been given to buy a house but the house is not yet on my name?

A: The zakaat is not payable. The house is already purchased. The house being in your name is just a legal procedure.
