The Beginning of the Hawl (Lunar Year) in the Zakah of Land

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks, saying: Does the hawl calculation begin from the start of the investment or from the end?

Answer:
The start of the obligation of zakah is from possession. If you possess wealth, whether land or otherwise, its hawl begins. So, if a year has passed since you possessed it, zakah becomes obligatory on it. Yes.
