The ruling on the zakah of sheep when they graze and are fed

The questioner:
Now, the caller connected is Rayyad from Jizan. Please, Rayyad. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you. Please, go ahead.

The questioner:
How are you, Shaykh Salih?

The Shaykh:
May Allah welcome you. Shaykh, I would like to ask you about the zakah of sheep. Sheep.

The questioner:
We have sheep that graze, and we also feed them, so I do not know if there is zakah on them or not?

The Shaykh:
If you intend these sheep for keeping, for milk and offspring, and you feed them for half the year or more, then there is no zakah on them.

The questioner:
We feed them throughout the year, and they graze throughout the year.

The Shaykh:
The important thing is: is grazing the majority, or is feeding the majority?

The questioner:
By Allah, regarding this feeding, we know it is throughout the year.

The Shaykh:
That means, if their feeding is significant, then there is no zakah on them; because they are not sa'imah (grazing sheep), and zakah is only in sa'imah, meaning those that graze for the lunar year or more of the lunar year. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. May Allah bless you, my dear brother.
