Zakat on Heritage Artifacts
There are people who trade in historical heritage items, and their prices can be very high, but it is known that such items do not sell immediately and may remain with the seller for several years without finding a buyer. How is zakat applied to such items?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If they are offered for trade, they are considered trade goods if owned with the intention of selling them, and zakat must be paid on them every year based on their value, even if they remain with the owner for years. And God knows best.
