The ruling on land prepared for sale that has not been subject to zakah for four years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I have land prepared for sale, and it has been about four years, and I have not paid its zakah because of the many debts. Is there anything required of me in that?
Answer:
If you do not have what you can pay as zakah on this land, you record the zakah every year. You record in a notebook the amount of zakah that is due on it each year, and it becomes a debt in your liability. If you are able, you settle it.
