Question

Al-Salam Alykum! I own a piece of land which I bought to keep for my children to build on in the future. Do I have to pay ZAKAH on it? If yes, how much do I have to pay of the land's price and do I have to pay ZAKAH on it annually (i.e. every year)? Shukran Allah Yejzikom Al-Kheir.

Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

There is no Zakat on this piece of land which you bought in order to build a house for your children on.

However, if you purchased this land for the purpose of trading with it and gain a profit from it, then it is considered as a tradeable item, in which case you are obliged to pay Zakat on it for all the previous years.

Allaah Knows best.
