Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man has date palms, and he gives a palm tree to each neighbor, for example one palm tree to each neighbor. He also gives away dates and fresh dates as charity and gifts. Is this considered zakah, or not?
Answer:
No, these are gifts and voluntary charity, so they are not considered part of the zakah. Yes.
