Question:
May Allah keep you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the zakah of land if the intention regarding it changes more than once, once for the purpose of residence, and once for the purpose of sale, and then it was sold?
Answer:
If a person intends the land for sale, zakah is due on it because it has become trade goods. If he intends to keep it as a property for himself to cultivate or live in, there is no zakah on it. It only becomes subject to zakah if he intends to sell it, in which case he pays zakah on it if a lunar year has passed. Yes.
