Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Abid, says: My father has a group of camels and sheep, and he, Shaykh, feeds them and brings them grass. Regarding the zakah on these camels and this group of sheep, Shaykh, is it more than sixty sheep?
Answer:
If these camels and sheep are fed for a full lunar year or more, there is no zakah on them because they are not grazing animals, and zakah is only due on grazing animals. However, if he intends them for sale, they become trade goods. If he sells any of them, he must pay zakah on their value. Yes. Or if a lunar year passes while he intends to sell them, he must appraise them at their market value and pay zakah on them as trade goods. Yes.
