Question
What value will you stipulate when giving a car in Zakat? (Retail or Trade-in)
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In The Name Of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Answer:
There is no zakah payment due on items used for personal needs, like a car. [1] Therefore, if you trade in the car or sell it, no zakah will be required on it.
Only Allah knows best
