Is zakat obligatory on a piece of land owned by my sister who lives abroad, which has been in her possession for a full year and whose value reaches the nisab, knowing that it is not yet demarcated, cannot be built upon at present, and she has no intention of selling it?
If your sister bought the land with the intention of building a residence upon it, or if her intention at the time of purchase was undecided between residential use and sale, then there is no zakat due on that land, because it is not considered a trade good.
