The Collector Taking Zakah from Fattened Livestock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a questioner from among the camel owners. He says that in these years, the collector takes the zakah of the livestock,
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
He says the collector takes the zakah of the livestock in these years, knowing that these animals are not grazing freely, but rather we feed them. And whoever does not pay the zakah is not given the *barwah*, which is a paper certifying that you have paid the zakah. You present it to the licensing authority to obtain the shepherd’s residence permit for the shepherd of these animals, and to obtain our share of the *swani'* (water rights). What is the ruling on this zakah paid under these circumstances?
The Shaykh:
You do not need to submit this question to the Ifta authority or to the Sharia court in your area; they will look into this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
