Zakât on Produce of the Land
-
A particular place
was in the control of the kuffâr. These kuffâr used to live there
and lead their normal lives in that place. Thereafter, the Muslims invaded that
place, waged war with the inhabitants, captured the place and propagated Islam
therein. The Muslim ruler confiscated all the land of that place and distributed
it among the Muslims. In the Shariah, such land is referred to as
“ushri” land. If all the inhabitants of that place accepted Islam
willingly and there was no need to wage a war against them, all the land of that
place will still be regarded as ushri land. All Arab lands are also
ushri lands.
