The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is a woman who has a sum of money with which she bought land so that the money would not be lost from her,
The Shaykh:
so that.
The questioner:
so that the money would not be lost from her.
The Shaykh:
she bought.
The questioner:
she bought land with a sum of money so that that money would not be lost from her, and she does not intend to sell it now, but if she needs money, she will sell the land. The question is: is there zakah on the land?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is an intention contingent on need, so it is intended for sale, but she says she has made it contingent on need. The intention to sell is present, so she pays zakah on it every year. Yes.
