Q9: Is it obligatory to include lost camels in the nisab for zakah in order to pay zakah on them? Knowing that they sometimes affect the value of the zakah; for example, a person liable for zakah has (36) of them, two of which are lost. If they are counted with the number, he owes a bint labun, but if they are not counted, he owes a bint makhad.
A9: No zakah is obligatory on lost camels until their owner finds them, and they do not complete the number of the camels that are present. Rather, he pays zakah on the ones that are present if they reach the nisab by themselves alone.
