Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. If he sells his income and the buyer stipulates it, it is considered.
The Shaykh : He sold it.
The questioner : He buys the fruits.
The Shaykh : Or the seller.
The questioner : After, after you accepted your soundness.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, correct.
The Shaykh : If he sells the palm trees after the date clusters have formed, or rather if he sells after pollination, the fruit belongs to the owner of the trees.
The questioner : Good, and its zakah is upon him.
The Shaykh : Yes, zakah is upon the one who owns it.
The questioner : Good, but if the buyer buys, if he stipulates the fruit, will the price increase?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And he stipulated it; is he obligated to pay zakah, even though you took payment for the fruit?
The Shaykh : Good, when it turns red or yellow, whose expense is it? Whose ownership is it?
The questioner : The expensive one.
The Shaykh : It is the property of the seller, or rather the property of the buyer.
The questioner : No, the seller, because it has not yet arrived.
The Shaykh : Good, I am just asking you: if it turns red or yellow and then the palm trees are sold, to whom does the fruit belong?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : To the buyer, and its zakah is upon him.
The questioner : But if he stipulated, if he stipulated.
The Shaykh : So if the buyer stipulated it, its zakah is upon him, if it was before it was harvested or fell off.
The questioner : After the donkey, it was exported, on the verge.
The Shaykh : He says: If it was sold after it turned red or yellow, it belongs to the seller, because the time of obligation is when it turns red or yellow. Yes.
The questioner : Even if I was occupied, I was occupied.
The Shaykh : And even if you bought it, you are the buyer. Yes.
The Shaykh : He sold it.
The questioner : He buys the fruits.
The Shaykh : Or the seller.
