Question Summary:
Do I have to pay Zakaat on the market value or investment value of shares?

Question Detail:

Assalam Alaikum Mufti Saheb,
I had invested INR 3 lakhs in shares of some textile, steel, software and petroleum companies in India about 3 years ago. Now the value of those shares have depreciated more than 50%. Do I have to pay zakat on the investment value (ie.3 lakhs Indian rupees) or their current value?
Jazakallah.

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Muhtaram,
JazakAllah. For your question.
One is obligated to pay Zakaat on the current value of the shares that one owns in a company and the dividends that accrued thereof.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
