Q 2:
Seventeen years ago, the government granted me a piece of land which I sold. Knowing that the price of the land nowadays is much greater
than it was 17 years ago, how can I pay Zakah (obligatory charity) for all these years?
A:
You have to start calculating the Zakah for this land a year after the intention was made to sell it. Accordingly, you should work out the value (of the land) when the year has passed, and pay the amount of zakah on this value since the land comes under the category of commercial commodities.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
