Is there no zakah on the olive harvest?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman who has an olive grove that yields its fruit once every two years. She sells the produce of this land when the harvest comes in and receives a cash amount for it. The question is: Is it true that there is no zakah on olive fruits, as some people have told her?

Answer:
This is based on His saying, the Exalted: because this applies only to grains. As for fruits, there is no zakah on them. There is no zakah on them. Zakah is due on grains and fruits that are taken as food. As for watermelons and these fruits, there is no zakah on them while they are in their state. However, if he sells them and a lunar year passes over their value, he must pay zakah on the value. If he sells them and a lunar year passes over their value after the sale, he pays zakah on the value. Yes.
Olives are among the fruits. May Allah reward you. Olives are among the fruits. Fruits, yes. They are not a staple food. They are not taken as a staple food. They are taken as a side dish. So they are not a staple food. Yes. As for grapes, grapes are dried. They become a staple food that is eaten, provides nourishment, and suffices in place of dates and barley.
