Question
respected mufti,
1) i signed an agreement of sale to sell my investment flat on 21 august 2006. my cut off date for zakaat calculation is 15 ramadan ( 8 october 2006). on 15 ramadan, the flat was still in the process of being transferred to the buyer and i had not received any monies. do i include the money due to me as part of my zakaatable assets?
2) would the answer to above question be different if i made a commitment to invest the money from the sale into another investment property.
jazakallah
