The ruling on the zakah of land owned for trade and its amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This question is also related to zakah. The questioner says: I bought a piece of land eight years ago for the purpose of trade. Is there zakah on it? And what is the amount?
Answer:
There is no doubt that there is zakah on it for every year that passes, because it is a commodity, because it is among the goods of trade, intended for sale. The method of zakah is that he asks about its value in every year, appraising it each year at what it is worth. It may increase or decrease, so he appraises it each year at what it is worth in that year or at that time, and he pays out one-fifth of the tenth of its appraised value.
