Is there Zakat on shares?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: And God knows best

Relevant Fatwas

In Zakat on stocks, if profits are realized, how is the Zakat calculated? Is it on the capital if a year has passed, or on the profits as well? If it is on the profits, how is it calculated?
Does the Zakat al-Fitr set by the endowments at one dinar and eighty qirsh differ from the Fitr charity for the car we use, for example? I am confused, meaning that the charity of one dinar and eighty qirsh is obligatory for everyone, and it differs from the charity of the things owned by a person. What is the difference between them?
I would like to inquire about the distribution of zakat concerning the poor. Is it necessary to verify their poverty and investigate them? Are orphanages considered valid recipients of zakat? And does donating to a mosque that needs sewage extension count as a valid use of zakat?
If I have money, for example, let's say one thousand dinars, and two months before the due date of Zakat, someone borrowed it from me, and I do not know when he will repay the debt, should I pay Zakat on it? What is the ruling if he repays the debt before the Zakat due date?
A person whose salary has reached the nisab, is he obligated to pay zakat, and how does a year pass if he receives it every month?
