The zakah on one hundred and forty grazing sheep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Yahya from Jazan says: I have a pen with one hundred and forty sheep in it. How much zakah is due on them?

Answer:
If they are grazing, meaning they graze for the full lunar year or most of the year on grass and pasture, then she pays the zakah on grazing sheep: one sheep for every forty. One sheep for every forty. And two sheep for one hundred and twenty-one. After that, the obligation settles at one sheep for every hundred, one sheep for every forty. Yes.
