Introduction
Vehicle ownership varies from personal cars to commercial fleets and automobile dealerships.
In Fatawa Razawiyyah (Volume 10) and Bahar-e-Shariat (Part 5), Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (Ψ±ΨΩ Ω Ψ§ΩΩΩ ΨΉΩΩΩ) details the rules for vehicle Zakat.
Section 1: Vehicle Classifications & Zakat Rulings
- Personal Vehicles (Cars, Motorcycles): EXEMPT from Zakat (Haajat-e-Asliyyah).
- Commercial Vehicles (Taxis, Buses, Trucks, Rental Fleets): The vehicle itself is NOT Zakatable. Only net rental/transport earnings saved in cash on your Zakat date are Zakatable (2.5%).
- Vehicles in Dealership Inventory (Purchased for Resale): Zakatable at full market selling price as trade merchandise (Maal-e-Tijarat).
