Your share in the investment project is subject to as trade goods. Therefore, you should appraise your share in the land and building at the completion of a full year (hawl) from the original capital. You then pay one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%) of your total capital each year. Do not delay paying the zakat until the time of accounting after three years.
