The zakah on the amount set aside to purchase land
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I bought a piece of land for the purpose of building a house before my zakah was due, and the land has not yet been developed, and the amount is set aside for it. Is there zakah on this amount?
Answer:
You have heard the answer. Yes, there is zakah on it, because as long as it is set aside as the price for what you bought, it remains in your ownership. It is still in your ownership, so zakah is obligatory on it. Yes.
