Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there zakat on land that a person receives as a gift?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On a person’s land and property\/commodity, no zakaah is payable. Unless he has prepared it for sale or has gained money from it through rent or other means. And if the earnings are zakatable (i.e. 2.5 per cent), then one-quarter of one-tenth should be paid as zakaah. ‘<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our beloved Prophet (SAW) has mentioned:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0644\u064a\u0652\u0633\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0645\u0650 \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0647\u0650\u060c \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u0650\u0647\u0650\u060c \u0635\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0629\u064c<\/span><\/p>\n

No Sadaqa is due from a Muslim on his slave or his horse. [Muslim Hadeeth no. 982]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imam Nawawi gives an explanation to this Hadeeth saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0647\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u062b\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0635\u0652\u0644\u064c \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u0650\u0646\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0632\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u0629\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627<\/span><\/p>\n

This hadith refers to \u201cbelongings\u201d whereby there is no zakaah on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So unless selling the gift\/earning money from it takes place, there is no zakah on this gifted land.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
