Is there zakah in land purchased for building a residence?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: If a man buys a piece of land intending to build a house on it, but he delays the construction until a lunar year has passed, is there zakah on it?
A: If he intended the house for residence and not for trade, but rather intended to live in it or to rent it out and benefit from the rent to help with his needs, then there is no zakah on this land. And success is from Allah.
