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

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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
