Ruling on paying zakah from fed livestock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: The questioner says: There is a project for raising dairy cows, which are fed and provided for and do not graze on their own. Is zakah due on them, or is zakah only due on the annual profits? And if zakah is due on them, what is the amount?
A2: Cows that are kept for production, upon which expenses are incurred and which are fed for most of the year, do not have zakah due on themselves; because zakah is only collected from grazing livestock,
and grazing livestock is that which grazes for a year or more from what is permissible. But if it is fed for more than a year, then there is no zakah on it in its original value. However, if money is obtained from its produce that reaches the nisab or more, then that is purified by paying one-tenth of its produce. Or if it is sold and a year passes over its price, then it is purified by paying one-tenth of it.
