Is there zakah on vegetables?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Fadhil, from 'Ali of Arar. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace, Allah's mercy, and blessings. I have three questions, O long-lived one, may Allah preserve you. Amen. Please, but turn the television down a bit; there is some interference in my earpiece. Turn the television down a little. Okay, I wrote it down on a piece of paper. Please, go ahead. Yes, I have three questions. Yes, go ahead. The first question: What is the zakah on onions, tomatoes, and potatoes, and how is it calculated? Okay, the Shaykh will answer. The questioner. The questioner. The presence. A moment. Okay.

Answer:
There is no zakah on vegetables unless you sell them. If you sell them, you pay zakah on their value if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) for money. As for the vegetables themselves, there is no zakah on them.
