The Ruling on the Zakah of Poultry and Its Amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is zakah obligatory on the owner of poultry? And if zakah is obligatory on them, what is it based on? Is it based on their current value, or is it based on something else?
Answer:
Those who raise poultry are undoubtedly obligated to pay zakah. When the lunar year (hawl) is completed, they pay zakah on the money they have from the poultry. As for the poultry itself, they appraise it at its market value and pay the zakah at the end of the lunar year. When the year is completed, they pay the zakah on the money they possess and on the value of the poultry in their ownership. They appraise it and pay zakah on it, just as they do with sheep, camels, and other merchandise. Yes.
