One who buys land with the intention of building and then sells it owes no zakah
Your Eminence! A person bought land with the intention of building, but at the end he wanted to sell it. Does he owe zakah on the value of the land, or not?
He owes no zakah; because zakah is only obligatory on land in the case of those who buy and sell land for trade.
