The Zakah on Olives and Honey

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have an olive grove, and I also have bee honey. Is there zakah on them? And how is it paid?

Answer:
Olives and honey are among trade goods. If he has honey, or if he has an olive harvest, he pays zakah on the value. He pays zakah on the value of the honey if it reaches the nisab, or he also pays zakah on the olives if they reach the nisab. If they are in his possession, he appraises them and pays zakah on the value. If he has sold them, he pays zakah on the value for which he sold them. They are among the things that come out of the earth, meaning their zakah becomes obligatory when they are obtained, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
give its due [zakah] on the day of its harvestوَآتُوا حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ
[Al-An'am 6:141]
. Yes.
