Zakah on Waqf


392

A: If the reality is as you mentioned, no Zakah is due on this land. However, if you intend to sell it and buy another better piece of land and dedicate it as Waqf, then Zakah is due on this land at the end of each lunar year starting from the time that you first intend to sell it. Merely thinking about selling this land without the actual intention to do so does not make it subject to the payment of Zakah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
