Question

I puchased a few plots of land in Pakistan over 10 years ago for the specific purpose of selling them at a later stage to make or purchase a house and invest the remaining proceeds to generate income for my retirement. Kindly let me know if I am liable to pay Zakat on this land.

Thank you

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu

If you purchase the ten pieces of land to resell, you will have to pay Zakaat at 2,5 % of the market related value of those lands.

And Allah Knows Best
