Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Regarding the zakah on crops, He, Glorified and Exalted, said:[Al-An'am 6:141] Does this mean that it is obligatory to pay the zakah on the very day of the harvest, or is he allowed to delay it until another time?
Answer:
Delaying it until another time is permissible. That is, the obligation of zakah begins at the time of the harvest; it begins then. However, if it is delayed for a valid excuse, there is no harm. Yes.
