Zakat on Housing Wealth
Is zakat obligatory on the money saved in the teachers' housing fund or the military housing fund? This means that a teacher or military personnel contributes to the housing fund, and then a certain amount is deducted from them monthly. After a while, a specific amount accumulates in their balance in the fund. Is zakat obligatory on this amount?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Zakat is not obligatory on her unless she receives it, and God knows best.
