The zakah on land sold before the completion of the lunar year

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: He sold a piece of land he owned before the lunar year (hawl) had completed. Is there zakah on it? And if this land is among trade goods and has been held for several years, how does he pay its zakah?

Answer:
It suffices for her each year to pay what it is worth. She appraises it each year at its value. That suffices. The number of years. The place of the intention to sell. She appraises it for each year at its value. And she follows it after ten years. So if he sells it before the lunar year is completed, and he profits from its value before the completion of the year, then he owes nothing. And if its value, or some of it, remains with them until it prevents him from taking the value or the remainder of it, yes.
