Is zakat obligatory on an inherited piece of land that is leased but has not been utilized or developed, knowing that its price has increased beyond its value on the day of inheritance? And does the ruling differ if it is sold and its price is exchanged for another property or land?

There is no zakat on the value of inherited land or land acquired without the intention of trade. Zakat is obligatory on its rent if it reaches the minimum threshold (nisab) and a full year (hawl) has passed on it.
