The Ruling on the Zakah of a Plot of Land

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks and says: I bought a plot of land six years ago and have not sold it until now. Is there zakah on it?

Answer:
It depends on your intention. If you intend to sell it, you must pay its zakah every year. You do this by estimating its value at the end of the lunar year and paying the zakah on that amount. However, if you do not intend to sell it, there is no zakah on it. Yes.
