The Ruling on Zakah in Money Used to Buy Land That Was Then Returned to the Buyer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I bought a plot of land in a commercial market to build a commercial shop. The market was changed, so I asked my partners to return my money to me, and they did. Is there zakah on it?

Answer:
If it remained with you until a lunar year had passed, then zakah is obligatory on it. However, if a lunar year has not passed, then zakah is not obligatory on it, because it was not in your ownership before it was returned to you. It was not in your ownership before it was returned to you. Yes.
