Summary
Zakat is obligatory only on the portion belonging to Muslim shareholders in a company with mixed Muslim and non-Muslim shareholders. The fatwa states that owners of business companies must pay zakat once its conditions are met. Zakat is due only from Muslim individuals who are of age, sane and free, and whose wealth has reached the haul and nisab, so non-Muslims are not obliged to pay it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Diwajibkan zakat bahagian muslim sahaja bagi syarikat yang bercampur antara pemegang saham muslim dan non muslim.
