Question:
Islamic centers in the west often have investments (halal), mainly profits from joint partnerships and other non-share investments. Is zakah due on the profits of these investments and any other donations to the Islamic Center?


Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
This question was answered for us by Shaykh �Abd-Allaah ibn Qa�ood as follows:
The shareholders must pay zakaah on their own behalf, but no zakaah is due on the profits stemming from donations.
