Question:
This questioner says: If I have a piece of real estate, meaning land, and my intention fluctuates—sometimes I intend to sell it or invest in it, and other times I intend to build a house and an apartment for rent—does it have zakah on it?
Answer:
No, it does not have zakah on it, as long as you have not resolved to sell it. You are not hesitating, so it does not have zakah on it. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
