Paying the value in lieu of the sheep due in zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of fatwa number ( 16125 )
Q2: I have two nisabs of sheep. Is it permissible for me to pay the value instead of the actual animal, given that the actual animal is in my possession?
A2: It is permissible to pay the value in lieu of the sheep due in zakah if the collectors or the one entitled to it request it from the person liable for zakah; because that is more convenient.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
