Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person has camels or sheep that have reached the nisab for zakah, but he feeds them for more than six months by buying feed for them, is there zakah on them?
Answer:
If he intends them for personal use, milk, and breeding, there is no zakah on them if he feeds them for more than the lunar year. However, if he intends them for buying and selling, they are goods; he values them at the end of the lunar year and pays zakah on them. Yes.
