The ruling on the zakah of inherited land after the intention to sell it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A man says: I inherited a piece of land from my father, and when I took possession of it, I did not intend to sell it. Then, after a period of time, I resolved to sell it. After I resolved to sell it, approximately two years have passed. Do I have to pay zakah on these two years?

Answer:
Yes, you pay zakah on it starting from the time you resolved to sell it. If you resolve to sell it and a year passes, you pay zakah on it. If another year passes, you pay zakah on it, as long as you continue with the intention to sell and do not change it. Yes.
