Zakah on a farm offered for sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A farm produces fruit, and zakah is paid annually from its fruit. It has been offered for sale. Upon the sale, is zakah due on it from the time it was offered, or is zakah due only on its sale price?
Answer:
Zakah is not due on it until a lunar year has passed after the intention to sell. When the intention to sell is made, the lunar year for zakah begins. If a year passes while it is still in his possession and displayed for sale, it is valued at its worth and zakah is paid on it. If he sells it, he pays zakah on its value. If he sells it before the year is complete and the price remains in his hand until the year is complete, he pays zakah on its value. Yes.
