I bought land with the intention of building a house on it and then sell it.

Question

I bought land with the intention of building a house on it and then sell it. The building is still unfinished. How should I pay Zakaat?

Answer

Since the intention for procuring the land and building the house is to sell it for profit, you have to pay Zakaat on the value of the unfinished house - on the land and the house.
