Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: A person has sheep that he trades in by buying and selling. How does he pay their zakah? And what is their nisab (minimum threshold for zakah)?
Answer:
It is the zakah on trade goods. These are goods; sheep prepared for buying and selling are trade goods. The zakah is due on their value. If he sells them, he pays zakah on the price for which he sold them. If he does not sell them, he estimates what they are worth and pays zakah on that. Yes.
