Zakah on Pigeons Prepared for Sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there zakah on pigeons, or on their sale price?
Answer:
There is no zakah on pigeons in themselves. However, if they are prepared for sale and trade, they are valued at the end of the lunar year, and zakah is paid if their value reaches the nisab. Likewise, if you sell some of them and you have coins from the proceeds, and a lunar year passes over these coins, you pay zakah on them. So, in summary, when the lunar year is complete, you pay zakah on the coins you have from the value of these pigeons, if they reach the nisab. You also value the pigeons that are present, which you bought for breeding, at their equivalent value. As for the pigeons you acquired for breeding, there is no zakah on them and they are not valued; only the pigeons displayed for sale are valued. Yes. May Allah bless you.
