The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person owns a number of sheep for which zakah is obligatory, and the value of these sheep is between six hundred and seven hundred riyals.
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
If a person owns a number of sheep for which zakah is obligatory, and the value of each of these sheep is between six hundred and seven hundred, and the zakah collector comes to him and says that the authority has set the value of one sheep at two hundred and fifty riyals, is there anything required of me in this, or must I pay the difference?
The Shaykh:
He pays the remainder; he gives the collector what he requested and pays the remainder to the poor. Yes.
