Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When the man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the zakah of horses, he recited to him this verse: And
(7) So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, (8) And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ
[Az-Zalzalah 99:7-8]
Does that mean that he (peace and blessings be upon him) is encouraging him to give zakah?

Answer:
No, he is encouraging him to benefit from these horses by using them for riding and carrying for those in need. Yes.
