Question:
The questioner says: Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good, about the zakah on figs, grapes, olives, and watermelons that are irrigated with rainwater?
Answer:
Vegetables that are not stored and fruits do not have zakah; rather, zakah is due on items that are stored, dried, and kept, such as figs, grapes that are stored, and olives that are stored. In these, zakah is obligatory. As for what is eaten and not stored, eaten immediately, such as watermelons, legumes, and other fruits, there is no zakah on these unless one buys and sells these items. If one buys and sells them, they become trade goods, and they are subject to the zakah of trade, the zakah on trade goods.
