Zakah on Inherited Real Estate Before the Issuance of Title Deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have a call from our brother Muhammad from al-Taif, yes.

Another questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The questioner:
Peace and the mercy of Allah. Yes.

Another questioner:
May Allah grant you a good evening. How are you, Shaykh? May Allah make your knowledge beneficial, if Allah wills, and prolong your life in His obedience. I have a question, Shaykh, about the workshop. My father, may Allah have mercy on him, left us properties, but the title deeds were not issued until after he passed away, more than three or four years later. I want to know if there is zakah on these or not. Who is here from the research department? And I have a second question about prayer. May Allah prolong your life.

The questioner:
Stay with us, stay with us. The Honorable Shaykh is asking about the fact that the father passed away, may Allah have mercy on him, but the title deeds were delayed; the title deeds were not issued until after his death. Does the previous real estate have zakah on it before the issuance of the legal title deeds?

The Shaykh:
Every heir pays zakah on his share when he takes possession of it. There is a reversal, there is a reversal.
