Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Muhammad from Ta'if, please ask your question. Yes, of course. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. Peace. How are you, Shaykh Salih? May Allah welcome you. May Allah be pleased with you, O Shaykh, I have two questions, may you live long. Yes. My mother passed away (may Allah have mercy on her) two months ago, and she had a piece of land. After she passed away, we put this land up for sale. How do we pay its zakah, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
The land belongs to the heirs after her death; it belongs to the heirs. Each one pays zakah on his share if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), he pays it.
The questioner:
I mean, each one pays zakah on his share.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
