Is there zakah on grapes?

Question : Is there zakah on the remaining grapes or not? There is zakah. Why? Because raisins are made from them, and raisins are a stored commodity.

Answer : What about some dates that are not made into a stored commodity? They are not stored; they are eaten only while fresh. Is there zakah on them? Yes, there is zakah, because the default for their type is that it is a stored commodity. The default for their type is that it is a stored commodity. As for grapes from which raisins cannot be made, some scholars said that there is no zakah on them. Our grapes here, from which raisins are not made, have no zakah on them according to this view. Yes. The stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that the view of obligation is better, because the fact that a type of these fruits is not stored does not indicate that the genus of the fruit is not a stored commodity.
