The Ruling on the Zakah of Land One Is Hesitating to Sell
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have a piece of land, and I am hesitating between selling it and building on it. Is zakah obligatory on it, or do I pay zakah on it when I intend to sell it?
Answer:
If you are hesitating about this land, not knowing whether to build on it or sell it, there is no zakah on it until you are certain about selling it. If you resolve to sell it, the lunar year begins; when a full lunar year has passed, zakah becomes obligatory on it from the time of your intention to sell.
