The zakah of land offered for sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner from Yemen says: Is the zakah on land offered for sale due every year, or does its owner only pay it once when he sells it?
The Shaykh:
Yes, he pays the zakah for the past years, and that is sufficient. Yes.
The questioner:
But does he pay it every year?
The Shaykh:
Yes, he owes zakah every year, but it is not obligatory for him to pay it out every year. He can accumulate the zakah for the years and pay it out.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
