Zakah on land set aside for sale

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A questioner says: A man owns land and intends to sell it if he needs money. Is zakah due on it, and the period may be several years?

Answer:
Yes, if he intends to sell it, it becomes a commodity on which zakah is obligatory every time a year has passed over it. He pays zakah on its value at the end of the year.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
