Question
I live in canada and am planning to purchase an apartment in pakistan.
This apartment would be used by me whenever I am in pakistan. Rest of the time it would be closed and nobody else would use it. My duration of stay in pakistan would be approx 4 weeks per year or less.
Would I be paying Zakaat on this apartment
Answer
You do not have to pay Zakaat on the apartment.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
