Zakat On Trading
In principle, the capital that you have invested in trading is your asset and you are liable to pay Zakat on it. However, if you do trading as a business then an ijtihad can be made by you and your capital can be considered means of production , in which case there is no Zakat on it. You have to decide with utmost sincerity whether or not you consider your trading as a business or a personal venture.
