Zakah on land prepared for construction
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And there is nothing in it, so I said to him, "Allah," and they said, "It is not in the hands of the villages." So I said, "On this basis," and I said, "If Allah wills, I will read it from its source, to awaken [people] with a positive topic. So the ruling on zakah is that it applies until the last of the land is [developed], but if each of these two [parcels] remains in the land, the question is: Is there zakah on these two parcels of land, knowing that it is intended for building now, and it is not specified for trade?"
The Shaykh:
If it is not prepared for sale, but rather prepared for building, then there is no zakah in this case. You only find zakah in it if it is prepared for sale and put up for sale, and a year passes after the intention, then you find zakah in it because it has become trade goods. But if it remains for building on it, but it has not been possible for you to build on it at the present time, and you are waiting for the opportunity, there is no zakah in it. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family.
The presenter:
Correct. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The Shaykh:
If they are called to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), they turn away with the greatest aversion, and their anger intensifies toward their objects of worship, as Allah the Exalted said:[Az-Zumar 39:45] [Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]. May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and all his Companions.

And when Allah is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.
وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
