Question: I have built a house which cost me around 46 lakhs with the land for building the house. And I built it for renting purpose and I am getting rent 19,000 rupees every month but I have loan from the bank around 12 lakhs and the interest I have to pay to bank is 10000 rupees every month. So, is there any zakah applicable for me in Shariah? Please advise me what to do?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1261/1261/M=1433)
As per the question, there is no zakah on the value of that house. However, zakah shall be wajib on the money which is earned through the house.
