Explaining the Method of Paying Zakah on Livestock Intended for Trade
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q4: The questioner says: I hope you will explain the method of paying zakah on livestock intended for trade?
A4: If he raises them and sells some of them, this is from trade goods. What he sells of them is valued when the lunar year has passed, and what remains of them, when the year is complete, he values it, or values it based on the capital he bought them with when the year has passed,
he pays zakah on it by giving one-tenth of a quarter of its value that it equals at that time, and the consideration is not the value for which he bought it, but the value it equals at the completion of the year. He values it at what it equals, and gives one-tenth of a quarter of the estimated value.
