Zakah on land set aside for sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: I have a piece of land that was offered for sale, and I pay its zakah every year. Now I have sold it. Is there any zakah due on the money I received from it?
Answer:
If a lunar year had passed while you held it before you sold it, then zakah is due on it, just as in all the previous years. But if you sold it before the lunar year was completed, then there is no zakah on it. However, if the value remains with you and a year passes over it, you must pay zakah on it. Yes.
