Islamic centers in the west often have investments (halal), mainly profits from joint partnerships and other non-share investments. Is zakah due on the profits of these investments and any other donations to the Islamic Center?
Jazak Allah.
This question was answered for us by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Qa’ood as follows:
The shareholders must pay zakaah on their own behalf, but no zakaah is due on the profits stemming from donations.
