Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man has sheep from which he eats the meat and drinks the milk. When someone comes wanting to buy, he sells them some. His question is: Do I pay zakah on them as trade goods, or do I pay zakah on them as grazing livestock?
Answer:
No, it is not the zakah of grazing livestock. If they graze for the entire lunar year or most of the year, that is the grazing livestock. If you feed them, there is no zakah on them. But if you sell them and obtain coins, and a lunar year passes over the coins after their sale, a lunar year passes over the coins after their sale, you pay zakah on them, the zakah of money.
