The ruling on zakah for one who sold his farm on installments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man had a farm that he had not intended to sell, nor had he offered it for sale; rather, someone incited him to do so, and he sold it in installments extending over ten years, with one installment each year. How does he pay zakah on this?
Before he sold it, he owes no zakah on it, because it is not merchandise.
And after he sells it, his zakah is the zakah of a debt.Meaning: When he receives any amount, he pays its zakah for that year. If he receives an amount in the second year, he pays its zakah for two years. If the third year passes, he pays it for three years, and so on.
