Dear Dr. Gomaa,

I have a factory producing consumer goods and I would like to make sure that I am paying zakah correctly . I would appreciate if you can help me by informing me about the ruling. Thank you very much.

Industry per se is not included in Zakah because Zakah is pertinent to the money obtained from this industry when it reaches the due amount on which Zakah is incumbent and with the condition of the passage of one year over the amount of money on which the Zakah is due.
