For all those who are carefully bussy in halaal and haraam, would they tell me if paper money is allowed in Islaam? This concept of interest and other financial concepts in Islam are based on Physical money (Ashrafi, Gold/ Silver coins) not papers. But all of us are using and dealing papers only those do not have any physical value.

Islam is a dynamic deen, and 'Ijtehaad' is the best approach for our guidance without compromising the basic pillars & principles of Islam.
Better for all of us to see the real intent of the religion.
Allah guide all of us enabling to follow His last Messenger (pbuh).
Amin with best regards.

Development charge phase 9

Dear Mr CMY,
As the phase 9 ballot is near I want to ask one question about development charge. As the development charges will be in 3 years installments, how much is the fine if one do not pay the development charge on time. Or is it even possible to delay the installment. Will they cancel the plot in any case if one don't pay the installments at all?
I will be greatful to you of you answer this question as its Importent for me to plan and manage my funds accordingly. Thanks.

imran replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 10:51 PM PST 

i also have the same question

CMY replied on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 01:54 AM PST 

For 3 years it will be like 20% of full amount to be paid as devlopment charges. You are charged for only installments you miss.

Jameel replied on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 02:40 AM PST 

Dear CMY they are not Compounding the Fine?

Zakah on agricultural land.

@@@ Zakah on agricultural land @@@

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

is there zakat on agricultural land, if yes then how much? also zakat on industrial productions, and on saliried persons?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Zakah on agricultural land

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: …is there zakat on agricultural land, if yes then how much?

Agricultural land is absolutely exempt from ‘zakah’ in Islam; thus even if one owns agricultural land worth millions of dollars, one is not liable to pay ‘zakah’ annually on that agricultural land itself.

The ‘zakah’ on agricultural land is determined from its produce:

If the land is irrigated naturally through rain the ‘zakah’ would be 10% of the produce of the land.
If the land is irrigated artificially through tube wells, tributaries, etc…the ‘zakah’ would be 5% of the produce of that land.

Your Question: …..also zakat on industrial productions

‘Zakah’ is not determined on the annual industrial production, but rather on the net value of the industrial business itself.

Your Question: …..and on saliried persons?

‘Zakah’ is not determined on the monthly/annual salary of the person, but rather on his net excess assets which he accumulates after paying all his expenses.

Thus if the annual salary of the person is 10,000 and his total annual expenses are 8,000; thus assuming the person has no other assets or savings upon which ‘zakah’ is due, he will be liable to pay ‘zakah’ on his savings of 2,000 at the rate of 2.50%.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan

Dear CMY,

Me and my friends want to buy some commercial 8 Marla land in DHA 8, kindly help me in getting answers for following questions

1. Can we buy land jointly? so we shall have no legal issues later on

2.How much you expect from DHA 8, 8 marla commercial to rise in 3 to 4 years time

3. How much would be expected average monthly income out of this commercial land , if we compelete plaza by next 4 to 5years time

I think its good idea if it work that instead of single spending on low cost residential area, why not to make joint venture with others and go for commercial area for regular income

Need your advise as it is really matters to me

Forum Issues: Code of Conduct

Dear CMY.
Check with your IT support to explore the possibility if you can block the IP address for those folks who are not in compliance with COC (Code of Conduct) for this forum. Otherwise need a "Moderator" functionality.

Food for thoughts!

Options within the Budget of 50 Lac to construct 1 kanal house

Dear Respected experts and friends

During my recent visit to Pakistan , I got an opportunity to look into different schemes with a view to construct a house. I have checked the following schemes:

1)Bahria Nasheman
2) Central Park
3) AWT phase 2
4)Grand Avenue


let me share my experience with you about all these schemes

1) Bahria Nasheman: Situated on ferozpur road opposite of Central park but entry gate is about 1.0 Km inside fron ferozpur road. There were no 1 kanal plots only 8 marla and 5 marla. It has a very nice development and all the facilities were excellent. Many houses were constructed and people living there. I found it to be bit congested and it will be more when more houses will be built.The rate was 22-24lac for 5 marla and 29-36 for 8 marla. They were anticipating the rate to be increased to 26-28 by june for 5 marla and 32-40 for 8 marla.

2) Central Park: I have witnessed many improvements during my last visit in March. Lots of construction activity was going . Two different agents told me that it has now more than 400 houses where families are living.The approach was from main ferozpur road and commercial plazas were mushrooming on the main boulevard. I have spoken to few residetns there as I was keen to buy there and they all ahd positive views about it. It is very secure and gated community. The possession area plots were available from 39 to 65 in A block. and from 35 onwards in B block depends upon location.
The agents were very positive about the future of it. According to their point of view highly underprieced scheme and it has a potential to grow rapidly in near future. They were predicting and anticipating the price to be with in the range of 60 lac within a year for a canal. The 10 marla has many plots and price will not grow very rapidly. In short , good investment for 1 kanal or 2 kanal.

3)AWT phase 2: Big sort of deserted scheme and the development work was not very good. There were houses and the price range was between 32-55 lac depends upon the location.Due toa ring road interchange at ADA plot it has a huge potential to grow and prices may double (as per the information from dealers there).In my opinion, not an ideal place to built a house but good for investment.

4)Grand Avenue: Startegic location and next to Bahria Nasheman.Highly underrated and ignored scheme by investors with an access from main ferozpur road. The development work was in swing and quality of development was very good. The A block will be ready for possession in October 2015, because they have done the carpted roads in 70% of A block. Small gated community about 2 kM before central park. If the price of central park will appreciate than its price will appreciate too. The 1 kanal plot was available in the price range of 29-35 with installments on old bookings. They got their status clear from LDA (it is not anymore on Illegal list of LDA). It is underpriced and have a potential to give very positive gains.The quality of developed roads is at par with Bahria nasheman.

These were my observations and I did some investments in these socities as I felt the potential in these schemes and plots were on ground

Investment in DHA

Brother CMY, all,

I have hard earned savings worth 13 million rupees which i would like to invest for 5 years in DHA Lahore. I would like to invest in commercial property to enable rental income for my retirement.

Probably my budget is short for a commercial investment in DHA ? One possible option could be to invest in Phase 7 - 4 Marla commercial or 1 Kanal residential plot ?

Your advice will help me to invest in the right property to secure my future. Thanks

Dr. Hina

Rahza replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 08:14 PM PST 

i am not a property expert or invest expert but wherever you invest...dont invest your full amount...be on safer side.

Faisal replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 08:21 PM PST 

Izmir Town there is Commercials Plot in 140 some of My Friend Checked 2 days back good investment too Dr.Check there and Secondly the In front of DHA Rahabar there are some Commercials Plots My friend purchased that too you can check that too.

SIM replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 08:26 PM PST 

I would suggest you Ph 5 M block or a good
location plot in Ph 7. Hopefully it will give you good return. The other option is to buy 1 Kanal and 10 marla plots in Ph 9 after ballot.

Habib replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 09:06 PM PST 

I think You are Mistaken, People are investing in Commercial not for renatal income but to get Capital Gain in Property, eg a Plaza Bluit on 8 Cror Land and 4 Cror Cost[1 Lakh per Month Mauintinace Tax etc], cant genertate Monthy rental to Justify its cost. The Investment in rental Property is Done that 8 Cror Plot can be sold in 12 Cror in 2,3 Yearsor so. As Lonmg as this trend will continue it will continue growing.
You make shops on certain Plots and your headache starts, rent not paid in time, Bill Not Paid , Business Flopped and tenant ran away leaiving furniture all things etc etc, It is Full time Job

I would Advise Buy a 10 M at certain prime
Location and start Ploy Clinic Make Chambers of Docs etc it is quite good for regular Income, Or a House at prime Location which can be divided in 2,3 Prtions can give you good renatl yield

Tahir replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 09:42 PM PST 

Habib is right.

imran replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 10:57 PM PST

NFC 2

Dear Sir,

I want to ask you about NFC 2. I purchased a commercial plot in NFC 2 6 months back. Now i heard that LRR will be built on the same area and it will hurt commercial plots. Can you please suggest us that should we keep the plots with us or sale it out? what kind of affect LRR will create on NFC2 commercial?
Best Regards,

Wasim Akhtar replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 09:29 PM PST 

Farrukh Ijaz Bhai

I also have a commercial plot in the same area.
From where you got this information ? Did you visit area by yourself and found some signs of LRR there ?
Because the Real Estate Experts on this Forum are saying LRR would not disturb NFC-2 Commercial area. It might touch A-Block plots.

Regards,

NFC2 replied on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 11:16 PM PST 

Dealer are spreading these rumors so that they can convince you to sell your plots. Even some are saying that LRR can also effect Block B and E, just to create panic so that people sell their residential and commercial plots.
On the other hand if you visit Commercial area, same dealers are building plazas there on their own plots:))

Wasim Akhtar replied on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 12:24 AM PST 

Agreed with "NFC2". If you tell those dealers you want to buy then their story will be different.
One big dealer who has his office on NFC-2 main gate ( encroachment area on Multan Road ), he himself is building plaza in NFC-2 commercial area.

Thanks,

Jameel replied on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 01:48 AM PST 

NO this Is false news but this is Correct that there will be some revision of map again to accommodate LRR, But only Sundar side Boundary or Bahria side Boundary will be affected.
Interchange Loops may marginally affect few commercial plots. They will be adequately compensated, It depends what type of Loops are, made in order to decrease the cost GOP is going for Simple Interchanges, Not Like Abdulla Gul which is I KM in Diameter. Have a look of various previous designs of Interchanges in Google earth, and see How they can affect Commercial plots

Farrukh Ijaz replied on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 07:05 PM PST 

No i did not see it my self. But i heard from different dealers and yes may be they want to create some panic because if LRR withh not disturb it so these plots value can be doubled.
