Zakah on Land Set Aside for Sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have a group of plots of land that I do not intend to sell at the present time, but if I need the value of one of them, I will sell it. Is there zakah on it?
Answer:
If you resolve to sell it, the lunar year for zakah begins. So, if a lunar year passes from your intention to sell and your resolve to do so, then if you have sold it, you pay zakah on its value. If you have not sold it, you assess its value and pay zakah on it by giving one-quarter of a tenth of its value. Yes.
