Is zakat obligatory on money derived from the rent of agricultural land, paid in full in the tenth or eleventh month of the cultivated year? And is the hawl (one year) calculated from the day of payment? And is zakat obligatory on someone who owns one to six qirats and a water buffalo?

The conditions for the obligation of Zakat are reaching the nisab (minimum threshold), the passing of a complete hawl (lunar year), and stable ownership. If the rent of the land reaches the nisab by itself, or when combined with money or trade goods, and a year has passed on it after stable ownership, then Zakat becomes obligatory on it. The calculation of the year begins from the day the farmers utilize the benefit and the rent enters the ownership of the lessor. If the payment of the rent is delayed and it is a debt owed by well-off farmers who are not procrastinators, then Zakat must be paid on it when the hawl passes. However, if the farmers are in hardship or procrastinators, then the rent is subject to Zakat for one year upon its قبض (receipt). There is no Zakat on a qirat (a measure of land) or a buffalo unless they are for trade. If the owner of these things has sufficient means from them, then he is not eligible to receive Zakat; otherwise, he is among those who are eligible.
