A woman who has owned land for six years: is zakah obligatory on it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is a questioner for the program who says, “O honorable Shaykh, I have owned a piece of land for six years. Is zakah obligatory on it?”
The Shaykh : There is no zakah on land, no zakah on the furnishings of a house, and no zakah on a car that is used. Rather, zakah is due on what is prepared for trade from these things or others.
Accordingly, the land owned by the questioner has no zakah on it unless she intends it for trade. If she intends it for trade, then zakah becomes obligatory on it if its value reaches the nisab, or if she adds its value to what she has of the same type of value and it reaches the nisab. Yes.
