The zakah on trade land that was not paid for several years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man had lands in Jeddah and was not paying any money from them. After three years, he sold them. How does he pay the zakah on them now?
Answer:
If he intended to sell them during these years, the zakah is obligatory on them every year. He must appraise them each year for what they are worth: what they were worth in the first year, what they were worth in the second year, and what they were worth in the year that passed. Then he totals what is due for the years and pays it all at once. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
