Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Yasser from the Noble Makkah says: I purchased residential land for the purpose of developing this land, but my intention is that if I find land in a better location at a suitable price, I will sell this land and take the one in the better location. What is the ruling on that? Is there zakah on it?
Answer:
If you do not intend to sell it, there is no zakah on it. If you are hesitating whether to develop it or, if it comes with a high value, to sell it and buy in another place—you are hesitating and there is no zakah on it? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
