Question:
This questioner says: My mother has a piece of land, and she has had it for more than ten years, O Shaykh Salih. She says the value of this land has increased, and it is a gift. She asks: Does she have to pay zakah on this land, now that it has been ten years?
Answer:
If you intended to sell it and a year has passed while you held that intention to sell, then you must appraise it and pay zakah on it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
