Zakah on land purchased on installment with hesitation regarding its sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I purchased land on installment five years ago, and the installments have not yet been completed. I am hesitant between selling it and building on it, and this depends on the price. Is there zakah on it?
Answer:
As long as you are hesitant between selling it and not selling it, there is nothing due on it. Zakah becomes due on it only if you resolve to sell it and a lunar year passes over it, in which case zakah is obligatory on it. Yes.
