The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a piece of land that I have set aside for trade, but I do not have any money to pay its zakah. If a lunar year has passed, what should I do?
The Shaykh:
The months.
The questioner:
I have a piece of land that I have set aside for trade, but I do not have any money to pay its zakah. If a lunar year has passed over it, what should I do?
The Shaykh:
Its zakah remains a debt on you for each year. If you sell it, you calculate the zakah for the years that have passed while you were holding it for sale, and you pay it. If you receive money or sell it, you pay the zakah based on the number of years that have passed.
