The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: A sum of money was put into trade and a profit was obtained. What is the ruling on the zakah?
The Shaykh:
A sum of money.
The questioner:
A sum of money was put into trade, and a profit was obtained for him. Is the zakah on the capital, or on the capital together with the profit?

Together with the profit. The profit is attached to the capital. The produce of grazing animals and the profit of trade follow the principal. You pay zakah on it along with the principal. Yes.
