How does a land trader calculate the lunar year?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person bought a piece of land, then sold it for this amount, then bought another, then sold it for this amount, and did this several times. Then he participated in a share of several thousand. The question is about this share: is the lunar year that of the land, or is it based on that, or does he start anew?
Answer:
The lunar year is that of the money. So if the lunar year completes on the money with which he buys and sells, he pays the zakah on it when it reaches the threshold.
