Is zakah obligatory on the camels I feed throughout the year?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there zakah on the camels that I feed throughout the year?
Answer:
If you intend to sell them, then the zakah on trade goods is due on them, because they are merchandise for sale. But if you intend to keep them, there is no zakah on them as long as you know that they are not grazing for most of the year. There is no zakah on them because they are not grazing, and one of the conditions for the obligation of zakah on livestock is that they be grazing, meaning they graze on pasture for a full lunar year or most of it. Yes.
