The answer

Then they can proceed with building and selling, and the profit will be shared between them according to their agreement or the proportion of capital. As for , the husband owes zakat on the money he deposited in the bank. He is not required to pay it immediately every year; rather, he should wait until the judiciary rules on the matter and his share becomes clear and he has liquidity. Then he should pay zakat for all the past years.
