A question regarding zakat on several properties: an inherited apartment belonging to my wife that is for sale, an apartment purchased with inherited money, a plot of land for building, my marital apartment, and an agricultural land inherited from my father which was exchanged and developed. The questioner is traveling for his doctorate and inquires which of these properties are subject to zakat and which are not.
All praise is due to Allah. There is no Zakat on a marriage apartment, nor on agricultural land saved for children, nor on a wife for an inherited apartment or one designated for construction. This is because none of these fall under "trade goods" on which Zakat becomes obligatory when acquired with the intention of trade.
