Question: Is there Zakaat on land I bought?

Answer: If you purchased the land with the intention of keeping the land then you do not have to to pay Zakaat on the land. However, If you purchased the land with the intention of re-selling, it would be considered as stock in trade; therefore you are obligated to pay Zakaat on the current market value of the land.
