What I mean to say is that, has giving Zakat been made  requisite upon me or is it only compulsory if a year has passed<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>We  believe that it is not necessary for an asset to be in our custody for a  whole year before it is zakated. The Shari\u2019ah has, on the contrary  prescribed to pay zakah on our assets every year. We have to appoint a  day for the payment and distribution of zakah, if the state has not  determined one for the purpose, and then pay the zakah on all assets  that particular day. All the assets that we have on that day are to be  zakated, even if an asset came to our hands a day before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-11-30<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6022\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to ask that if I engage myself in a business, that I sell a  piece of land and I get my money (gain or profit) in not more than  three months, does it make it necessary for me to pay<em> Zakat<\/em> out  of the gain?
