Zakat On Rent And Business Income
I gave u one example of what principle could be. Which answers why “What makes crops subject to Zakat?” Which also answers “why only crops were charged with this 5% and 10% rule”, and which also answers why Imam malik used the same analogy and applied same thing for mining production as well. “the principle could also be like if u are using nature for your business and are putting labout and capital both then its 5% if only labour or only capital then 10%. Because Imam malik used same agricultural produce analogy with mining production. Malik said, “Mines are dealt with like crops, and the same procedure is applied to both. Zakat is deducted from what comes out of a mine on the day it comes out, without waiting for a year, just as a tenth is taken from a crop at the time it is harvested, without waiting for a year to elapse over it.” whereas for rent it was different.” The thing is your principle and application is based on the assumption that every other thing was exempted during the time of prophet but there is no evidence to support this thing, whereas the principle that i wrote above explains that plus it was likely the practice of sahabas/taba tabein or just an opinion of imam malik that i quoted.
