The Ruling on the Zakah of Land Set Aside for Trade or Residence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have two plots of land worth three hundred thousand pounds. Is zakah due on them? And is it permissible to give the zakah to close relatives who are in need of zakah?
Answer:
If these lands are for trade, with the intention of selling them, and a lunar year has passed over them, then zakah is due on them because they are trade goods. However, if these lands are not for sale, but rather for residence or for building houses or buildings for rental and investment, then there is no zakah on them because they are not goods for sale. Yes.
Question:
He says regarding the collection.
Answer:
Giving zakah to your poor relatives is a good thing. Charity to a needy relative is two rewards: the reward of charity and the reward of maintaining family ties. Yes.
