The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh Abu A'had, please go ahead. Abu A'id, welcome, please go ahead, my brother. The Shaykh is with me. Yes, please go ahead, I am listening to you. Shaykh Salih, Shaykh Salih, may Allah preserve you and make you, if Allah wills, a strength for Islam. I have a question. I have camels. I sold the camels in the first month, seven months after the zakah became due. Do we have to pay zakah, or do we pay zakah on the camels, or do we pay zakah on their value, or is there no zakah on them? Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, zakah is due on camels when the lunar year has passed and they have reached the minimum threshold. If you sell them, you pay zakah on their value. Yes.
