Zakah on land prepared for trade and for residence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a group of plots of land, some of which are prepared for trade and some for my sons' residence. What is the ruling on the zakah of that?

Answer:
There is no zakah on land prepared for residence, but zakah is obligatory on land prepared for trade if a lunar year has passed and you intend to sell it. In that case, you appraise it at its equivalent value and pay out one-quarter of a tenth. Yes.
