Zakah on a house sold after the intention to sell
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener says: I have a house in my village that I built four years ago, and it never occurred to me to sell it. A year ago, or less, I feared that real estate prices would drop, so I put it up for sale and sold it. Is zakah due on it for those years?
Answer:
Zakah becomes obligatory from the time he intended to sell it. If a lunar year has passed since his intention to sell, zakah is obligatory. If the lunar year has not yet passed, then when it does pass, zakah becomes obligatory.
