Is zakat obligatory on a truck that the questioner has owned for a year, and on which the hawl (a year of possession) will be completed 10 days after he purchased another truck, knowing that he intends to sell the old truck after purchasing the new one, but the procedures were delayed by 20 days?

Money spent before the completion of a [Hijri] year is not subject to Zakat, unless the money was intended for trade. A truck that one wishes to sell is not subject to Zakat, according to the majority of scholars, unless one sells it and a [Hijri] year passes on its price. Some scholars are of the opinion that merely the intention of trade is sufficient to make it subject to Zakat.
