Zakah on Fed Sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a person owns a group of sheep. For most of the time, he is the one who feeds them, and in the spring, they graze in the open for about a month or two. What is the way to handle the zakah for such sheep?
Answer:
If these sheep are for personal use and not for sale, there is no zakah on them as long as he feeds them for the full lunar year or more; they are not grazing sheep. However, if he intends to sell them, he must pay zakah on their value when he sells any of them, paying the zakah at the rate of one-quarter of one-tenth. Yes. May Allah reward you.
