Zakah on Raisins, Dried Figs, and Pickled Olives

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there zakah on raisins and dried figs that are stored, and on pickled olives that are also stored?

The Shaykh:
There is no zakah on figs, because the custom is that they are not dried; the custom is that they are eaten fresh. And what is the other one? Raisins. Yes, there is zakah on raisins. Dried grapes have zakah, yes.

The questioner:
Pickled olives.

The Shaykh:
No, not for olives, because they are of the kind eaten fresh. The fact that they are processed and pickled does not change that; it is not required, unless they are prepared for sale, in which case they become trade goods. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
All of these are vegetables, and there is nothing [due] on them unless a person prepares them for sale. If a person works with vegetables, buying and selling them, then zakah is due on them as trade goods. Yes.
