The questioner:
Please, Ghazi, come on to the line with us. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. By Allah, I have a question about zakah. Please. Please. It is about the zakah of these sheep. Yes. Of course, the assessors who belong to the state did not come out. Yes, yes. They did not come out to check, or rather, I mean, I have nothing to pay zakah on. I am a man, I do not feed them daily, I have never in my life provided them with feed, and the world has been like this for years. So, is there zakah on them? And I am in debt, and the zakah has not come out, I have nothing to pay zakah on. Thank you.
The Shaykh:
If you feed them for more than a lunar year or for the entire lunar year, there is no zakah on them, unless you intend them for sale. If you intend them for sale, you fattening them with what they are worth at the completion of the lunar year, and you pay the zakah on them, which is one-quarter of one-tenth. But if you intend them for personal use and you feed them for the entire lunar year or more, there is no zakah on them. Thank you.
The questioner:
The feed, Shaykh, the feed, I feed them continuously, yes, continuously, but of course, if a good sale comes to me, I sell them all, or I sell some of their offspring and eat from them and benefit from their offspring, but...
The Shaykh:
You have received the answer, my brother.
The presenter:
Thank you, thank you.
