Q 2: I bought a piece of residential land by installments in my town in the area of Jizan that is called Al-Shaqiq. I paid the whole price of the land but after a period of time I thought to sell it when its price rose. The value of the land then reached seventy thousand Riyals even though I paid only nine thousand Riyals in installments for it as I mentioned above. However, this was five years after I had paid all the installments. My question is: Should I pay Zakah (obligatory charity) on this land on a yearly basis, just one time, or in what other specific manner? If that Zakah should be paid, should it be paid on the value that I initially paid, meaning, nine thousand Riyals or on the current one? It is important to mention that I do not have any income other than my monthly salary, I have a large family, and thus can not pay Zakah on the current value of the concerned land. I do not like to sell it and I do not own anything other than it. I do not own any house and I do not have any income other than my salary bearing in mind that I live in a rented home in the area of (Part No. 9; Page No. 337)  Jeddah for twenty-four thousand Riyals. What is your opinion regarding this situation? Please guide us with your beneficial answer. May Allah reward you with the best in this world and in the hereafter.
