[The Ruling on Taking Zakat for One Who Owns Farmland That He Cannot Cultivate]

Answer—and Allah is the Granter of success and aid: Wealth (ghinā) is of two types: legal (sharʿī) and customary (ʿurfī).
The “wealthy” person in the law is one who owns the amount upon which zakat is due—namely, a nisab or more—of gold, silver, grain, or the three categories of pasturing livestock; or who owns what equals a nisab in value of what the earth produces; or who owns trade goods whose value reaches that amount. If what we have mentioned is not realized for him, then he is not “wealthy” in the legal sense.
As for one who owns two plots as the questioner described—he is not considered “wealthy” in customary usage, even if the value of a single plot equals a nisab or more.
On the basis of what we have mentioned, it is permissible for such a person to take from zakat, for he is not wealthy—neither legally nor customarily. And Allah knows best.
