Zakah on a plot of land prepared for sale or lease
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a plot of land from last year that we vacated, and we intended that if someone comes to buy it or rent it, what zakah is required of us?
Answer:
If you have resolved to sell it, it is for trade, and it is subject to zakah every year; the zakah is on its value. But if you are hesitating between selling or leasing, if you lease it, if you lease it, then the zakah is only on the lease, if you lease it; because you have not resolved to sell it.
