The Ruling on the Zakah of Grapes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is obligatory for you to pay its zakah every year as long as it reaches the nisab. If it falls below the nisab, there is no zakah on it. However, you should not store it up, but rather move it in trade so that the zakah does not consume it. Move it in trade and grow it. But in any case, if it accumulates and you do not move it, the zakah is what you can afford, until it falls below the nisab. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is zakah obligatory on grapes, and is there scholarly disagreement on this?
The Shaykh:
Zakah is obligatory on grapes, just as it is on dates. When its food becomes good, zakah becomes obligatory on it, whether it is eaten fresh or dried until it becomes raisins. It is obligatory to pay the zakah on it, which is one-tenth or half of one-tenth, as previously mentioned.
