The Ruling on the Zakah of Camels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, Shaykh, that he has an enclosure for animals, including five camels. He asks: If a lunar year passes, is zakah due on them?
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If he intends them for use, riding, and carrying his loads for his needs, there is no zakah on them. However, if he leaves them grazing, grazing for most of the year, and intends to raise them, then zakah is due on them if they reach the nisab. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
