Summary
Income-generating fixed assets are known as al-Mustaghallat and include houses, factories, vehicles, poultry farms, aircraft and ships. Scholars differ: some hold that no zakat is due on the assets themselves because there is no explicit text, though profit from them is subject to zakat as gold and silver once the haul and conditions are met. Others hold that zakat is obligatory on al-Mustaghallat. The ruling presents both views without choosing one.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
