Assessing Land Prepared for Sale for the Purpose of Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the owner of a piece of land prepares it for sale, how does he assess it for the sake of zakah, given that prices vary?
Answer:
He assesses it at its value at the end of the lunar year and pays the zakah. He does not look at whether the price has risen or fallen, but rather at what the land is worth in itself.
