A plot of land prepared for construction as a residence or for rental is not subject to zakah

Fatwa number ( 14696 )
Q: I have a plot of land that is not offered for sale, but
Subhan Allah, if a person needs it, is that possible?
A: A plot of land prepared for construction as a residence or for rental is not subject to zakah. Rather, zakah is obligatory on the rent if it reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it. However, if one intends to sell the plot and a lunar year passes from the time of that intention, and its value reaches the nisab either by itself or by adding it to other items subject to zakah, such as currency or trade goods, then zakah becomes obligatory on it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
