We have solar system for our land, we have spent thousands of money on them. With the help of solar system we water our gardens easily. The question is can we give the zakah of solar pads or not? Sometimes we sale the solar system, can we give the zakah of amount of money that we get from solar system or not?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 1062/1071/M=9/1438)
There is no zakah on those solar systems which you have installed to water your gardens and they are not for sale. However, you will have to pay zakah on the value of those solar systems which are prepared for sale provided the condition of zakah is found.
Allah knows Best!
