Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman bought two plots of land for the purpose of residence so that her children can live in them when they get married. Is there zakah on these plots of land?
Answer:
No. Land acquired for the purpose of residence, whether for oneself, one’s children, or whoever one wishes, provided the purpose is residence, has no zakah on it; because it is not for investment, but rather for need. Yes.
