Zakah on a Share in Land
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I paid a sum of money as a share in a piece of land with a group, but I do not know what this land is worth now, nor do I know when it will be sold. How do I determine it? Do I pay it annually, or do I pay it in one year when it is sold?
Answer:
No, you do not pay zakah on it every year. You ask your partners, or you ask the brokers who handle the sale of this land—those who buy it and handle its sale—you ask them about its value. You ask the brokers who deal in land what the value of the land is when the lunar year is completed, and you pay zakah on your share of it.
