Zakah on camels prepared for trade
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have camels of high value that I feed for most of the lunar year, and I have prepared them for trade. Is there zakah on them? And if there is zakah, is it permissible for me to buy camels of lower value and pay them as zakah on the ones I have?
Answer:
There is no zakah on them in themselves; the zakah is on their value. As long as they are for trade, they are among the goods of trade. You pay zakah on their value: you appraise them, you appraise them at the end of the lunar year at what they are worth, and you pay zakah on the value. You do not pay the zakah of grazing camels. No, these are not grazing camels; these are trade, goods, trade goods. Yes.
