Zakah on land prepared for sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Please, my brother Sulayman from Hail. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace. Go ahead, may Allah keep you safe. I have the same question regarding land. I have land prepared for sale, and I have paid zakah on the portion I sold when the lunar year of possession completed for me. As for the rest of the land, do I pay zakah on it now, or do I leave it for sale?
The Shaykh:
No, my brother, as long as you intend to sell them, once the lunar year of possession completes, you estimate their value at what they are worth and pay zakah on them.
The questioner:
I pay zakah on the remaining land.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
