The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the method for paying the zakah on money or real estate not used for trade, such as a piece of land?
The Shaykh:
Is that it?
The questioner:
What is the method for paying the zakah on money or real estate not used for trade, such as a piece of land, or an amount of money saved for emergencies?
The Shaykh:
Money is subject to zakah in any case. Zakah becomes obligatory on it when a lunar year has passed over it. If you have dirhams that you have gathered to get married, or to buy something, or to wait for a need, or if a lunar year has passed over it and it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) or more, then zakah is due on it without doubt. What else is there, and what is it?
The questioner:
Goods not prepared for trade.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing due on land not prepared for trade.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
